Great news for Spanish football fans: the hamstring injuries to stars Nico Williams and Oihan Sancet are not as serious as initially feared, and both are expected to be fit in time for the World Cup.

Williams, the dynamic Athletic Bilbao forward, underwent tests on Monday after being substituted before halftime in his team's 1-0 loss to Valencia in La Liga. The 23-year-old has been diagnosed with a moderate hamstring strain, and while he may miss the final three league matches, he's on track for a full recovery ahead of the World Cup, which kicks off in just one month.

Midfielder Oihan Sancet, who also has his sights set on a spot in Spain's World Cup squad, suffered a similar moderate hamstring injury during the same match and was replaced in the second half. Athletic Bilbao confirmed that "both players are awaiting further assessment," but Spanish media reports suggest they'll be back in action soon enough to make the tournament.

The injury scare hit close to home for the Williams family, as Nico was replaced by his older brother Iñaki Williams on Sunday. "He was limping a lot. He hadn't felt that type of pain before," Iñaki shared. "It's concerning considering the moment we are in right now. Let's wait and hope for the best possible scenario."

Nico Williams has become a key attacking weapon for Spain, often linking up with Barcelona's Lamine Yamal—who is also currently sidelined with an injury. Meanwhile, Sancet has been working his way into the national team setup since his first call-up in late 2023.

With Spain coach Luis de la Fuente set to announce his World Cup squad on May 25, this news will come as a huge relief. Both players are now racing against the clock to prove their fitness—and it looks like they'll be ready to wear the red and gold when it matters most.
