The talented forward revealed that he has been nursing a knee injury for weeks now and wanted to wait till the end of the season before initiating permanent treatment.



Full Statement from Inaki Williams:

Since a few weeks I’ve been playing with pain in my right knee. I decided to play until the end of the season, but after having spoken to the medical services, we’ve decided to stop and solve the problem to be 100% for the preseason.

This wasn’t an easy decision to make because I won’t be able to be with my national team, Ghana the next meeting. I want to say that I am fully committed and I will come back with the Blackstars if the coach deems it appropriate next calls.

Thank you for your support.
