Ghana striker, Inaki Williams, faces a potential miss in Black Stars squad ahead of the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers due to foot surgery.
The 29-year-old underwent a procedure to address discomfort from a troublesome scar on his left foot, as confirmed by his club, Athletic Bilbao. The surgery took place at the IMQ Zorrotzaurre Clinic in Bilbao.
As a result, Inaki is set to sit out Athletic Club’s final match of the season against Rayo Vallecano at the Estadio de Vallecas.
The time table of his absence post-surgery remains uncertain, raising concerns about his availability for the crucial qualifiers next month.
Ghana’s national team is gearing up for matches against Mali on June 6 at the Stade du 26 Mars and against the Central African Republic on June 10 at the Baba Yara Stadium.
Inaki’s absence will be a big blow to the National Team and will definitely leave uncertainty to Black Stars squad selection, with coach Otto Addo expected to announce the team in the later this week per reports.
In the La Liga season, Inaki Williams has scored 12 goals in 34 appearances for Athletic Bilbao. He has also been named the best African Player in the Spanish topflight.
