Nico Williams risks missing the 2026 World Cup.

With only 32 days left before the 2026 World Cup begins, the Spanish national team has received worrying news from Nico Williams.

The injury came at the worst possible time for the young Spanish player.

In the match against Valencia in the 36th round of La Liga on the evening of May 10th, Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams was forced to leave the field in the 36th minute after a burst of speed. Television cameras captured the moment Nico Williams repeatedly exclaimed: "This can't be, this can't be…".

The disappointed reaction from the player born in 2002 shows that he somewhat understands the seriousness of the injury, especially with the 2026 World Cup fast approaching.

Athletic Bilbao has not yet released the detailed results of the medical examination. However, Nico Williams' inability to continue playing in the first half has caused concern among Spanish fans about the possibility of him missing the biggest football event on the planet in North America.

If the worst happens, this would be a huge loss for "La Roja". For over a year, Nico Williams has become a crucial link on the flank thanks to his speed, dribbling ability, and creativity. He is also considered a perfect partner for Lamine Yamal in the Spanish national team's attacking system.

While awaiting the final conclusion from Athletic Bilbao's medical team, the Spanish national team clearly has reason to be uneasy. The 2026 World Cup risks being without one of their fastest and most inspiring attacking players.
