The coaching staff of the Spanish national team is in a deeply pessimistic mood regarding the health of winger Yeremi Pino.
Details: According to Marca, the player's injury appears to be very serious, and his World Cup campaign is most likely over.
Pino suffered the injury during the final, third round group stage match against Uruguay. The initial prognosis from La Roja’s medical staff was far from encouraging.
In the coming days, the midfielder will undergo an in-depth medical examination to determine the exact diagnosis and recovery timeline, but the chances of seeing Yeremi back on the pitch in the knockout rounds are close to zero. This is a major blow to Spain’s squad depth ahead of the crucial elimination matches.
It’s worth noting that this season, the winger played 53 matches for English side Crystal Palace, scoring 5 goals and providing 6 assists.
Reminder: Fernando Muslera made history after a fatal error in the match against Spain.
