World Cup 2026: Nico Williams breaks his silence after injury

Nico Williams is facing another tough spell. Injured during Spain’s victory over Uruguay (1-0), the 23-year-old winger shared a moving message on his social networks after leaving the pitch due to 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.

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.
