Yeremy Pino, Nico Williams injured as Spain advances in World Cup
Summary

Spain secured a 1-0 victory over Uruguay in their latest World Cup match on June 26, advancing to the last 32. However, the win came at a cost as Yeremy Pino is likely out for the tournament due to a shoulder injury, and Nico Williams faced another muscle issue late in the game. Coach Luis de la Fuente expressed concern over Pino's injury, indicating it is serious, while Williams experienced discomfort that may signal a strain or fatigue. Spain's top spot in Group H allows them to move on, but they will need to improve ahead of their next match against either Austria or Algeria in Los Angeles.
