The Ghanaian striker has not played La Liga in seven years. Last week’s King’s Cup injury sidelined Inaki Williams for the Celta Vigo encounter.
Inaki Williams last missed La Liga in April 2016, against Malaga. His thigh hurt then. Until the Celta Vigo encounter, the striker has not missed a La Liga match. Inaki played 251 La Liga matches from 2016 until the conclusion. This is the tournament record, surpassing Juanan Larranaga’s 202 straight matches.
Injury jeopardized Inaki’s streak earlier this season. He miraculously recovered. Inaki is injury-resistant. He’s a great striker with endurance.
Athletic Bilbao is his only club. He scored 79 goals in 356 Basque matches. That’s why he’s been trusted for seven years despite five coaches.
Nico Williams, Inaki’s younger brother, plays for Athletic Bilbao, which is intriguing. They represented various nations. Nico played for Spain, whereas Inaki played for Ghana. Both brothers played in the 2022 World Cup.
