Ghana striker, Iñaki Williams is poised to make his way to Bilbao tonight following Ghana's official exit from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
The 28-year-old is anticipated to participate in the upcoming Copa del Rey match against Barcelona scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, at the San Mamés.
A private flight had been on standby, awaiting confirmation of Ghana's fate in the Ivory Coast tournament.
Williams had a mixed performance during AFCON, making a substitute appearance in the initial game against Cape Verde, committing a defensive error resulting in a goal against Egypt when given a starting role, and playing only two minutes in the final group match against Mozambique.
Ghana's elimination was solidified by Cameroon's crucial victory over Gambia, which mathematically ruled out Ghana's progression despite their slim chance with only two points.
The Indomitable Lions, led by Rigobert Song, secured a dramatic 3-2 win over Gambia on Tuesday evening, securing third place in Group C.
This triumph propelled Cameroon ahead of Ghana in the race to qualify as one of the best third-placed teams, concluding Ghana's journey in the tournament.
Ghana's elimination means they have suffered a back-to-back elimination in the tournament for the first time in their history.
