Spain were without four key players during training ahead of their World Cup showdown with Portugal, raising concerns before the blockbuster Round of 16 clash.
Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, Aymeric Laporte, and Pedro Porro all trained individually in the gym instead of joining the main group, although the absences are understood to be part of workload management rather than serious injuries.
Spain’s coaching staff remain optimistic that all four players will be available for the match against Portugal, with no major fitness concerns reported ahead of the crucial encounter.
