Spain’s squad saw a fresh wave of changes as coach Luis de la Fuente announced that Liverpool winger Victor Munoz had joined the team and Rayo Vallecano forward Jorge de Frutos replaced injured Real Sociedad winger Ander Barrenetxea. The moves come after Mikel Oyarzabal was forced to stay in San Sebastián due to flu and Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal delayed his arrival at camp with right‑knee discomfort.

Both Yamal and Oyarzabal will miss Spain’s UEFA Nations League encounter with the Czech Republic on November 12, according to the Spanish Football Federation. The pair are expected to re‑enter the squad for the home match against England at the Metropolitano Stadium, where the outcome could determine which side tops its group. This future inclusion remains unconfirmed, as it depends on their recovery at the scheduled deadline.

England also reports a roster change, with Manchester City defender Marc Guehi withdrawing from the squad due to a hip injury. Newcastle United’s Dan Burn has been named as his replacement for the upcoming match.

Both national teams are poised to resume action after the break, with fans and analysts watching the injuries and substitutions that could impact the Nations League standings.
