Two miss out as Athletic Club name squad for Celta Vigo clash | OneFootball

The squad of players set to be depended upon by Athletic Club head coach Ernesto Valverde to get the better of Celta Vigo has on Saturday been confirmed.

And it features one headline absentee, in the form of Nico Williams.

Wide-man Nico was for his part forced into a premature departure from Athletic’s midweek victory over Leganés.

After being on the receiving end of a heavy challenge late in the first-half, the Spanish international failed to emerge on the other side of the interval.

Nico was subsequently confirmed to have suffered an ankle injury, enough to keep him out for Sunday’s La Liga meeting with Celta Vigo.

Also set to miss out tomorrow evening is Yuri Berchiche, who, after seeing out the 90 minutes against Leganés, has since picked up a fitness problem.
