Ghanaian forward Iñaki Williams is set to return to action for Athletic Club just in time for the high-stakes Basque derby against Real Sociedad. The 29-year-old striker has shaken off a left leg strain that saw him miss both Athletic’s last La Liga fixture and Ghana’s crucial 2025 AFCON qualifiers, including a 1-1 draw with Angola and a 2-1 loss to Niger.

Following a brief three-day break, Williams was back on the training pitch with his teammates, showing no signs of rust as he trained at full intensity. His presence provides a massive boost for Athletic Club as they prepare for one of Spain’s most fiercely contested regional clashes.

Williams has been instrumental for Athletic this season, contributing three goals and four assists in 12 league appearances. His ability to lead the line and deliver in key moments has been crucial for the team’s strong start in La Liga.

The Basque derby at San Mames is always an emotional and hard-fought encounter, and fans are eager to see Williams reclaim his starting role. Both his teammates and supporters will be looking to him for inspiration as Athletic aims to secure a vital victory to stay competitive in the league standings.

With his return, the stage is set for a thrilling performance from Williams as he looks to make his mark in one of La Liga’s most iconic rivalries.
