New Liverpool Signing Handed Injury Blow as Statement Made
The RFEF said the 22-year-old will miss Sunday’s Group H match and is a major doubt for Spain’s final group game after another setback.
- Spain winger Victor Munoz has suffered a new muscle injury, the Royal Spanish Football Federation announced, forcing him out of Sunday's World Cup match against Saudi Arabia.
- The injury occurred one day after Liverpool confirmed the $45.8m signing of Munoz from Osasuna, with head coach Andoni Iraola securing the 22-year-old on a six-year contract with the Reds.
- Spain seeks a win against Saudi Arabia after an opening goalless draw with Cape Verde, while Munoz remains a major doubt for the final Group H match against Uruguay on June 26 in Guadalajara.
- Lamine Yamal told TVE on Friday he is "not up for a full match" yet, though the 18-year-old remains ready if the coach chooses during his ongoing adaptation process.
- Roja faces pressure to reignite their World Cup campaign without their new Liverpool winger, aiming for victory on Sunday in Atlanta to preserve their knockout round hopes.
