Ghanaian striker Inaki Williams has returned to preseason training with Athletic Club as the Spanish La Liga side gears up for the upcoming season.
The club, which concluded the previous season on a high note by clinching a trophy, has begun its preparations this week.
Williams, 29, recently underwent surgery to address a long-standing issue with his left foot, which revealed a surprising discovery.
Doctors found a piece of glass embedded in his foot that had been there for two years, causing persistent discomfort.
Despite grappling with the foot problem, Williams maintained an impressive record, notably featuring in 251 consecutive La Liga matches for Athletic until January 2023, when an unusual injury interrupted his streak.
Last season, he contributed significantly with 14 goals across 39 appearances in all competitions, including a notable start alongside his brother, Nico Williams, in the Copa del Rey final victory against RCD Mallorca on April 6.
During the offseason, Williams also celebrated personal milestones, including his marriage to his longtime fiancée.
