Spain faces injury crisis as key players doubtful for World Cup

Spain’s national football team is dealing with multiple injuries ahead of the World Cup. Forward Nico Williams suffered a right adductor muscle strain after a collision, while winger Yeremy Pino was treated for a possible clavicle fracture following a match against Uruguay. Both injuries are classified as moderate, and their recovery will determine squad availability.

The team also lacks Victor Muñoz, who is out with a muscle injury, and Lamine Yamal is still recovering from an earlier thigh problem, creating a shortage on the flanks. FIFA tournament rules allow player replacements only up to 24 hours before a team’s first match, except for goalkeepers, so Spain cannot add a new player to the roster even if Pino’s injury proves severe.
