Spain Maintains Unbeaten Run While Nico Williams Misses Match
Spain enters the fixture atop Group C with six points, extending an unbeaten run to 40 matches after defeating Croatia 4-1 in Seville. Lamine Yamal scored twice in that outing, bringing his tournament tally to three goals. However, Luis de la Fuente must manage without Nico Williams, who withdrew from the squad due to a thigh injury sustained during a recent international match, as detailed by goal.com.
Czechia’s campaign has tracked in the opposite direction. Goal.com reports that Santi Denia’s squad sits at the bottom of the group without a point, having suffered three defeats in the tournament, including a 2-0 loss to England where the team played a man down for over an hour in Prague.
