Athletic Bilbao striker Inaki Williams missed his first La Liga game in more than six years after being left out of the squad for Sunday’s clash with Celta Vigo in Balaidos. Williams has played in every La Liga game for Athletic since 20 April 2016, reaching a total of 251 consecutive appearances in Spain’s top flight. The Ghana international became the all-time record holder for consecutive La Liga appearances in October 2021 when he played his 203rd game in a row, overtaking former Real Sociedad defender Juanan Larranaga.
Williams’ incredible run was cut short due to “physical discomfort”, according to Athletic.
“The incredible run of consecutive matches played by Inaki Williams in La Liga is over,” the club wrote on Twitter.
