Spain forward Yeremy Pino suffered a suspected broken collarbone in the closing stages of a 1-0 win over Uruguay that secured first place in Group H. The 23-year-old entered as a substitute in the 65th minute and landed awkwardly on his left shoulder. He remained on the pitch until the final whistle despite the injury.
Head coach Luis de la Fuente said at the post-match press conference that a broken collarbone would almost certainly rule Pino out of the World Cup. “Pino can miss the rest of the World Cup,” de la Fuente said. “It is a collarbone injury.
We will do more scans tomorrow. ” Spain faces either Austria or Algeria in the round of 32 on July 2 in Los Angeles. Forward Nico Williams also left the match with an apparent injury. Williams, who entered in the 75th minute, was seen limping after full time.
He arrived at the tournament already nursing an injury and has not started any games. Lamine Yamal played 75 minutes against Uruguay after returning from a hamstring injury and starting the 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia. Spain topped Group H after the victory.
Cape Verde finished second following a 0-0 draw with Spain.
