As per reports from Relevo , the injury concern over the 22-year-old is not significant, with a muscle issue the source, and no risk taken.

He reported for duty at Las Rozas with the problem, and it has since been confirmed by the La Roja medical team, with Real Sociedad wing back Sergio Gomez called up as a replacement.

Williams started both games in September, and was due to retain his spot, with de la Fuente now forced into another reshuffle.

Athletic Club are back in La Liga action at home to Espanyol on October 19.
