Athletic Bilbao wingers Nico and Inaki Williams will both miss the second leg of their Europa League semifinal at Manchester United on Thursday, the LaLiga club said.
Nico Williams was not included in Ernesto Valverde’s squad on Wednesday. The 22-year-old also missed Sunday’s LaLiga game against Real Sociedad, while his older brother Inaki was taken off in the 62nd minute of the 0-0 draw.
Oihan Sancet, Athletic's top scorer this season with 17 goals, was also omitted from the squad for the game at Old Trafford with Bilbao trailing United 3-0 after the first leg.
