Spain qualified for the round of 16 as the top team in their group after defeating Uruguay by a score of 1-0. Luis de la Fuente expressed his concern over the injuries to Nico Williams and Yéremy Pino.
What happened in the match?
The victory itself was important, but what didn't please Luis de la Fuente was seeing Nico Williams and Yéremy Pino leave the game with gestures of pain.
The Athletic Club winger left for the team bus limping and with a displeased expression, while the Crystal Palace player left the field with his arm in a sling, assuming he had a broken collarbone pending medical tests.
How will this affect Spain?
The injury to the Canary Islander is more serious than the one the Athletic winger might have suffered. The idea doesn't change, it is what it is. Another thing is which players we use. I think we're going to lose Yeremy and Nico has some discomfort. If we have to play without wingers, we'll play without them. We can do it, De la Fuente said in the press room.
