Athletic expect Williams to be available for Barca clash after Cameroon's AFCON exit

Athletic Club wants to count on Inaki Williams against Barcelona. The Basque side play against the Catalans on Wednesday in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey and could field the striker.

Ghana were eliminated from the Africa Cup of Nations on Tuesday. Cameroon's victory makes it impossible for the Black Stars to be among the four best third-placed teams in the group, with only two points.

Thus, 'El Correo' reported that Athletic already have 2 different plans for Inaki Williams to be able to play against Barcelona on Wednesday.

The first of them is to take a flight on Tuesday night from Abidjan, in Ivory Coast, to Paris, where he would arrive at around 5am. From there, he would arrive in Bilbao in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

The second possibility is to take a direct charter from Ivory Coast to Bilbao, in a flight that would last 8 hours and in which he would not have to make any stopover.
