MADRID, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) -- Luis de la Fuente has been forced to make further changes to his Spain squad for the forthcoming UEFA Nations League matches against the Czech Republic and England.
The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) confirmed on Monday that Liverpool winger Victor Munoz has been called up, just hours after Rayo Vallecano forward Jorge de Frutos was confirmed as a replacement for injured Real Sociedad winger Ander Barrenetxea.
Munoz has received the call-up from De la Fuente after Real Sociedad forward Mikel Oyarzabal was ruled out of Monday's squad gathering because of flu, forcing him to remain in San Sebastian rather than join his teammates as planned.
FC Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal has also delayed his arrival at the Spain training camp after finishing Sunday's 2-1 win away to Atletico Madrid with discomfort in his right knee.
Both Yamal and Oyarzabal will miss Spain's visit to the Czech Republic on November 12, but are expected to join De la Fuente's squad ahead of Sunday's match at home to England at the Metropolitano Stadium, which could decide which of the two sides finishes top of their qualifying group.
England has also suffered an injury setback, with Manchester City defender Marc Guehi withdrawing from the squad with a hip injury and being replaced by Newcastle United's Dan Burn. ■
