• Yéremy Pino broke collar bone in win against Uruguay

• Nico Williams’s groin injury is being assessed

Yéremy Pino is likely to miss the rest of the World Cup with a broken collar bone and there are concerns Spain could also lose Nico Williams to a groin injury, as their qualification for the last 32 came at a heavy price.

Spain landed back in Chattanooga from Guadalajara just before 5am on Saturday. Tests will be carried out on both wingers to assess the extent of their injuries, with the selección due to train again at 6pm local time.

Spain present a formidable obstacle for a Uruguay side needing a win to progress – and quell a rebellious dressing-room mood

In the summer of 2011, at about the time Marcelo Bielsa was arriving at Athletic Bilbao, Luis de la Fuente was leaving. Bielsa was the revolution. De la Fuente was a former left-back with long, curly locks who had come through the academy, played eight years in the first team and coached Athletic’s under-19s and B team but now he was joining Deportivo Alavés, 50 miles south and in the third tier. Eleven games later, he was back again.

Sacked from the first senior club job he had, and the last too, De la Fuente was sure that someone would call but time passed, no one did and he started to wonder whether they would until the Spanish federation got in touch a year and a half later and asked him to coach its under-19s. In the meantime, as the months passed and the concern grew, he returned to Athletic’s Lezama training ground, convinced he had much to learn and that he knew where to do so.
