Injury Woes for Spain Ahead of Crucial World Cup Qualifier
11 Oct
Summary
- Spain riding high on winning momentum after recent victories
- Georgia bounced back from loss against Turkey with a win
- Injuries to key Spanish players like Lamine Yamal and Rodri
On October 11, 2025, Spain will look to continue their winning streak as they take on Georgia in a crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match. La Roja have been riding high on their recent momentum, having bounced back from a heartbreaking loss against Portugal in the UEFA Nations League final.
In their September international window, Spain defeated Bulgaria 3-0 and Turkey 6-0, cementing their position at the top of Group E. Meanwhile, Georgia have also shown signs of improvement, bouncing back from a loss against Turkey to thrash Bulgaria 3-0 in their last outing.
However, Spain's build-up to the October games has been heavily impacted by two major injury withdrawals. Talisman Lamine Yamal and midfield metronome Rodri have both been removed from coach De la Fuente's plans following injuries in their final club matches before the break. The absence of these key players will undoubtedly be a concern for the Spanish side.
Despite these setbacks, Spain will be confident of securing another victory and extending their lead at the top of the group. Georgia, led by former France international Willy Sagnol, will be determined to cause an upset and climb up the leaderboard themselves.
