The Athletic Bilbao player and star forward Inaki Williams has thrown the odds away of him being injured and missing a match, as he appears perfectly fit and fine in the match against Espanyol after getting forced off the field in his 236th appearance for the club following an ankle injury that looked scary.
The 28-year-old forward was expected to miss his first game in six big years against Espanyol on Sunday afternoon. The San Mames side released a statement at full time. “Athletic Club striker Inaki Williams has sprained a ligament in his right ankle. He will undergo further evaluations and his progress will be monitored over the coming days.”
The Bilbao-born forward was predicted to miss his first match after April 10, 2016, but not even an ankle injury could stop the ‘Iron Lion’ from pinning another appearance on his record.
Inaki Williams’ remarkable record in La Liga
After scoring the opener in Monday’s emphatic 4-0 win over Cadiz, the player was injured and unfortunately had to leave the ground he relied on. The striker’s record of 237 consecutive La Liga games for straight 6 years, never suspended, never left off, and never injured and missed a game.
For straight these years many players who played class-A football in La Liga including the 9 years of Cristiano Ronaldo and 17 years of Lionel Messi have been subjected to missing a game despite being a long career.
Inaki is surely known to be the ‘Iron Lion’ between the lads at the Athletic Club. The Lion has prevailed in his success and could be a forever unbeatable record of this remarkable player.
