Here is the latest update from the ongoing FIFA World Cup as of 2026-06-27 10:36:00.
GUADALAJARA, Mexico — Spain coach Luis de la Fuente has confirmed that while the team has topped Group H with a 1-0 victory over Uruguay, it has come at a significant cost, raising injury concerns over wingers Nico Williams and Yéremy Pino.
Both players were brought onto the pitch as second-half substitutes, following an opening goal by Álex Baena before halftime. However, their participation in the ongoing tournament is now in question, particularly after Pino sustained a collarbone injury in a fall, finishing the game in considerable pain. Williams also encountered issues with a muscular problem, having just made a return from injury.
Injury Updates
De la Fuente shared updates on their conditions after the match, stating, “[Williams] felt discomfort. It could be a strain, or it might be fatigue. But the worst thing is the huge pain we feel with Yéremy, who could miss the rest of the World Cup.”
Pino was seen leaving the stadium wearing a sling, and De la Fuente mentioned, “[Pino’s] could be a collar bone injury. We’ll see, he’ll undergo tests tomorrow. He’s suffering a lot. He made a huge effort to hold on until the end of the game. It was heroic.”
Meanwhile, Williams has had a challenging season, struggling with form and fitness while playing for Athletic Club in LaLiga, and has now faced setbacks on the international stage.
Match Reflections
Despite the injury concerns, de la Fuente opted not to criticize Uruguay’s coach Marcelo Bielsa for their physical style of play, expressing admiration for him. “Players play the games. We didn’t feel very comfortable in the game, but that’s what the referee is there for. It was a game played at the limit, extremely tough,” he remarked.
