Spain should lose striker and raises alarm with Nico Williams injury

After confirming their classification in first place in group H of the World Cup, Spain has concerns for the next phase of the competition. This is because striker Nico Williams left the field against the Uruguayans, this Friday (26), with discomfort in his groin and there is pessimism in the coaching staff.

According to the portal "Mundo Deportivo", the player left the match down and suffering pain in the region. The Athletic Bilbao athlete will undergo tests this weekend to assess the severity of the injury. This season, the 23-year-old faced physical problems and was absent from most of his team's matches.

Striker Yeremy Pino should miss the rest of the World Cup
In addition to the possibility of losing Nico Wiliams, coach Luis de la Fuente lost striker Yeremy Pino against Uruguay. The Crystal Palace player came on in the second half and suffered a shock in the last few minutes. The main suspicion is a fractured collarbone.

"It seems that Yeremy may have broken his collarbone. Tomorrow they will do some tests and we will see the severity of the injury", informed the coach of the Spanish national team after the match.

Another situation that concerns Spain's technical committee is the recovery of young Victor Muñoz, who felt discomfort on the first day of preparation for the World Cup and has not yet entered the field. The athlete has already returned to training and has been carrying out activities separately from the group.

Now classified for the Round of 16 phase, the Spanish squad returns to the pitch next Thursday (02), at 4pm, at the SoFi Stadium, in Los Angeles. The team faces second place in group J and has a chance of facing Austria or Algeria, who will face each other on Saturday night (27), at 11pm.
