There are all kinds of interesting stories in the football world, but what was revealed today at the press conference of Ernesto Valverde, the coach of Athletic Bilbao, before the last round of Primera, is beyond belief.The head of the red and white team told the press that Inaki Williams, along with his brother Nico, probably Bilbao’s best footballer, played with a piece of glass in his foot for two years! And it was only recently discovered.##NAJAVA_MECA_8124132##When asked why Williams is undergoing surgery, Valverde said:”Inaki had an incident two years ago when he was on vacation, when he accidentally stepped on glass and received a deep cut on the sole of his foot. A piece of glass was stuck in his foot after the wound was stitched up,” said Valverde.🚨🚨 Este es el cristal que tenía Iñaki Williams incrustado en la planta del pie y con el que ha estado jugando durante DOS AÑOS. 🤯🤯💀💀 pic.twitter.com/xstiGD1PDN— Athletic Xtra (@AthleticXtra) May 24, 2024 How Inaki played football in such a condition is hardly comprehendable.”Two centimeters of glass remained in his foot and started to damage his tendon. He felt discomfort under the scar for months, receiving therapy. It was only recently established what it was about, he has to sort it out and he got the club’s permission to go for surgery,” Valverde told this incredible story.In the last round of La Liga, Bilbao will play away to Rayo Vallecano, but the result will certainly not affect the position in the table, as the red and white will end up fifth.
