"Athletic Club will brace themselves for a hostile environment as they visit Spotify Camp Nou to face Barcelona this weekend. This will mark the first time Camp Nou hosts a football match in two and a half years, and given Barcelona's tense relationship with Athletic Club, the fans are not expected to give a warm welcome. However, Athletic Club will be able to re-arm themselves heading into the Barcelona contest, thanks to the return of key players, including Nico Williams."
"Nico Williams, who was close to joining Barcelona last summer for a second consecutive year, could not make the move to Catalonia. The forward ended up signing a contract extension until 2035, irking Barcelona in the process. And as reported by SPORT, the attack will be involved in the thick of things as Athletic Club visit Camp Nou this weekend."
Camp Nou will host its first football match in two and a half years as Athletic Club visit Barcelona in a tense fixture. A hostile atmosphere is expected given the clubs' strained relations. Nico Williams has overcome pubalgia during the November international break and is available for selection. He signed a contract extension until 2035 after a failed move to Barcelona and has registered two goals and two assists in La Liga this season. Ernesto Valverde can also expect Oihan Sancet to be available. Inaki Williams remains a major doubt and continues to train separately from the group.
