In brief
Spain’s coach Luis de la Fuente widened the national team list, adding Victor Munoz and promoting Jorge de Frutos after injuries forced the drop of Mikel Oyarzabal and Lamine Yamal. The Czech Republic game on November 12 will see Yamal and Oyarzabal miss the fixture, with England also losing defender Marc Guehi, replaced by Dan Burn.
Spain’s coach Luis de la Fuente confirmed that his squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League matches has changed once more, with Victor Munoz added to the roster and Jorge de Frutos stepping in for the injured Real Sociedad winger Ander Barrenetxea.
Lamine Yamal, the Barcelona forward, was delayed in joining the camp after finishing Sunday’s 2‑1 win over Atlético Madrid with discomfort in his right knee, and Mikel Oyarzabal was ruled out of the match in Czech Republic because of flu symptoms.
Both Yamal and Oyarzabal will miss the November 12 contest in Prague, but are expected to return for Spain’s home match against England at the Metropolitano Stadium on Sunday, a game that could decide the group’s top spot.
England’s side will also suffer an injury setback as Manchester City defender Marc Guehi withdrew from the squad with a hip injury, with Newcastle United’s Dan Burn named as his replacement.
The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) confirmed the changes on Monday, noting that Munoz joined just hours after De Frutos was named in Barrenetxea’s place.
The squad gathering took place in San Sebastian, where Oyarzabal was unable to depart because of flu, while Yamal remained in the camp after the club match to recuperate.
