The head coach told BBC Radio Humberside : “He felt yesterday his calf a little bit so he will go on MRI.
“We are waiting [for] news and also we made one plan for him, six weeks plan, that he has a rhythm of games.
“He played for the Under-21s and then together with the club now we will decide what we will do with him in January.
“[Whether] he will stay with us [or] he will fight for his place, so he will continue forward maybe, to change clubs, but we will see.
“This is also a question for all clubs. Right now, in those [academy] games he showed something but I don’t know if it’s enough for the Championship.
“This is something what maybe I need to decide we will do with him.
“Whether he will stay or he will change.”

United loaned Williams to for the 2023/24 campaign after less than 1,000 minutes whilst at Portman Road.
He spent a year without a club
That now seems to be coming to a premature end with Jakirovic saying: “We are speaking now because generally also if we can swap some positions then we will do that.
“If he we cannot we will continue like this but also it’s a common decision what we will do with some positions.”
Asked if Williams was understanding of the situation, Jakirovic replied: “Yes of course.
“I cannot say he now looks much better than when he arrived here.
“But also for the Championship you need even better level for sure.”
