Luis de la Fuente has seen his plans disrupted by a host of pull outs due to injury in recent days.

La Roja kicked off their Nations League campaign with a draw and a win against Serbia and Switzerland respectively last month.

However, ahead of a home double header, against Denmark and Serbia in the coming days, Williams has returned to Bilbao.

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.

The move brings a third stadium sponsor to the fore for the club, following previous broken deals with Wanda and Civitas, at their 70,460-seater base in the Spanish capital.

The agreement with Riyadh Air runs until 2033 and will provide a major financial investment alongside their ongoing bond.

With the international break ongoing, the new name will be given a formal unveiling on Atletico Madrid’s return to action later this month as per Diario AS.

The next game comes via a Madrid derby at home to Leganes on October 20 with updates on how the occasion will be marked expected in due course.
