Athletic Club forward Inaki Williams suffered a sprained ankle ligament and might now end his La Liga record streak for consecutive appearances.

  • Williams left in the 54th minute against Cadiz
  • Striker hasn't missed match since 2016
  • Shattered previous record of 202 straight appearances

WHAT HAPPENED? Williams is in danger of missing his first match since April 20, 2016. He surpassed previous record-holder Juanan Larranaga last October and has extended his incredible mark to 236 games in a row.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: While he is expected to undergo further evaluations, it would be a miraculous turnaround to be able to participate in Sunday's match against Espanyol.
