In brief
Spain’s coach Luis de la Fuente reshuffled his squad on Monday, adding Victor Munoz and promoting Jorge de Frutos for the UEFA Nations League games against the Czech Republic and England. Lamine Yamal and Mikel Oyarzabal will miss the Czech match but could return for England, while England has to replace midfielder Marc Guehi with Dan Burn. These roster changes could influence the standings in the group stage.
On Monday, November 9, 2026, in Madrid, Spain’s head coach Luis de la Fuente announced changes to his squad for upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against the Czech Republic and England, as the Spanish Football Federation confirmed the adjustments.
Victor Munoz was called up late to replace injured Real Sociedad winger Ander Barrenetxea, with Jorge de Frutos stepping in to fill Barrenetxea’s spot following the real‑sociedad player’s injury.
Both Lamine Yamal and Mikel Oyarzabal were ruled out of the Czech Republic game. Yamal, who finished Sunday’s 2‑1 victory over Atletico with knee discomfort, delayed his arrival at the camp, while Oyarzabal was sidelined due to flu and will remain in San Sebastian instead of joining teammates.
England also suffered an injury blow, with Manchester City defender Marc Guehi withdrawing from the squad because of a hip injury. Newcastle United’s Dan Burn has been named as his replacement.
These roster changes come ahead of a match that could decide which of the two teams tops the Nations League qualifying group.
