Spain's Williams Out of World Cup Tie With Minor Injury
2 Jul
Summary
- Nico Williams likely to miss Spain's next World Cup match.
- Coach confirms a minor issue, not a serious re-injury.
- Williams expressed distress over potential repeat of past injuries.
Spain's national team will be without winger Nico Williams for their upcoming World Cup round of 32 fixture. Coach Luis de la Fuente confirmed on Wednesday that Williams is dealing with a minor issue. The player was reportedly very upset, fearing a recurrence of previous injuries after a challenging year.
De la Fuente stated that while Williams will likely miss Thursday's match, the team is optimistic about his quick recovery. The coach did not specify the exact nature of the minor problem. Williams was seen limping after a recent group stage match where he was fouled.
If Spain progresses in the tournament, they are slated to play against either Portugal or Croatia in the next round. The team anticipates Williams will be back to his best for those potential future games.
