Spain have been dealt an injury scare after both Nico Williams and Yeremy Pino picked up knocks during their 1-0 victory over Uruguay at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Softfootball understands Both wingers are now set to undergo medical tests, with their availability for Spain’s upcoming knockout fixture in doubt.
Spain secured top spot in Group H with seven points after defeating Uruguay, booking their place in the Round of 32, where they will face the second-placed team from Group J.
Yeremy Pino suffered a shoulder injury late in the match and was forced to play through the closing stages after Spain had already used all three of their substitution windows.
Meanwhile, Nico Williams, who was being carefully managed after an injury-hit season with Athletic Bilbao, came off the bench for the final 15 minutes but ended the game in visible discomfort, raising fresh concerns over his fitness ahead of the knockout rounds.
Uruguay’s defeat saw the South American side exit the tournament without a single victory, becoming the highest-ranked nation eliminated from the competition so far.
