Athletic Bilbao Forward Inaki Williams admitted on Wednesday that he was one of six positive coronavirus cases recorded at the La Liga club.
Williams, 26, had returned to pre-season training with the Basque side this week ahead of the new La Liga campaign which begins in mid-September.
“Today it was confirmed that I tested positive after a PCR test. I’m asymptomatic and fortunately I’m doing well. I have to remain isolated now at home to beat the virus,” Williams posted on Twitter.
“I can’t wait for the moment to arrive so I can join the team for pre-season.”
Williams’ fellow squad members Oihan Sancet, Unai Lopez and Gaizka Larrazabal also said they were among those to have contracted COVID-19.

On Tuesday, fellow La Liga clubs Valencia and Real Betis, as well as second-tier Espanyol and Real Mallorca, revealed they had squad members test positive.
