For the first time in seven years, Inaki Williams was not available for selection for Athletic Club. The striker was sidelined due to physical discomfort, and is expected to be back in the first team very soon since the issue is not serious at all.
Williams racked up 251 games on the run without being injured, which was from 20/04/2016 until 22/01/2023. He holds the streak for the most consecutive La Liga appearances in history, surpassing Juanan Larranaga’s record of 202 in October 2021.
Inaki Williams misses out on first La Liga game in seven years
His streak was in danger of breaking earlier this season when he picked up a small injury and had to be subbed off. However, he was back in time for the next game. This time, though, things haven’t panned out for him as well and his fortune with fitness has finally given in.
Inaki Williams spent his foundational years representing Spain at the youth level. But, he has committed to playing for Ghana at the senior level.
The striker has played 356 games for Athletic Club, scoring 76 goals during his time there. It is the only club he has played for, and he is on course to see out his entire career as a one-club man at the age of 28.
