Williams underwent a scan on Monday, which successfully ruled out any serious damage to his hamstring, although he will miss the last few games for Athletic.
According to Marca, the diagnosis means that the winger is expected to be out for around three weeks, so he should be available for the World Cup.
The recovery schedule means Williams is theoretically on track to be available for Spain's World Cup opener against Cape Verde on June 15.
