World Cup 2026: Nico Williams breaks his silence after injury

The Spanish international believes that Nicolás de la Cruz’s tackle could have been avoided and regrets what he considers an unnecessary challenge. This latest injury comes after a long stretch plagued by physical issues, including pubalgia and a hamstring injury, which have disrupted his career in recent months.

Hoy es uno de los peores días de mi vida. Vuelvo a lesionarme después de un año muy complicado, en el que la pubalgia me ganó muchas batallas, pero no la guerra. Conseguí superarla con trabajo, sacrificio y, sobre todo, responsabilidad.

Despite this setback, Williams displays unwavering determination. He insists that he will not give up on his dream of continuing at the World Cup and thanks fans for their many messages of support. Having booked their place in the round of 16, Spain now awaits medical test results on their winger before knowing how long he will be sidelined.
