In a statement shared on his Twitter page, the 28-year-old said he has been forced to pull out due to a knee injury.

According to him, he has been playing through the injury for Athletic Bilbao but has now been advised by his medical team to “solve the problem to be 100% for the preseason.”
“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,” the forward wrote.
“This wasn't an easy decision to make because I won't be able to be with my national team, Ghana the next meeting. 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.”
Williams struggled a bit following the Qatar 2022 World Cup but made a strong end to the season by contributing some important goals.
