Inaki Williams has returned to Spain in preparation for Athletic Bilbao’s Copa del Rey match against Barcelona tonight at the San Mamés.
The 29-year-old forward was swiftly brought back to Bilbao after Ghana’s exit from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
Despite Ghana securing the 3rd spot in Group B with a loss to Cape Verde and draws against Egypt and Mozambique, their hopes for advancement were shattered as Cameroon secured a late victory over Gambia on Tuesday.
Williams, making his AFCON debut, participated in all three games for Ghana but couldn’t find the net.
Nevertheless, the striker has expressed readiness for the upcoming match in Spain.
In the ongoing 2023/24 season, Inaki Williams has featured in 18 matches for Athletic Bilbao, netting 8 goals.
