Athletic Club has shifted its preseason into full gear, and the spotlight is firmly on Nico Williams as the club prepares for what promises to be a tough campaign.

Though fears of surgery have been dismissed, the talented winger's condition remains a central concern at Lezama.

Team doctor Josean Lekue confirmed that "as of today, we are not considering operating on Nico," putting to rest speculation about a possible procedure.

Still, the club acknowledges that Williams must be carefully managed throughout the season.
