Facing possible muscle injury
Williams is thought to be dealing with a possible muscle injury following Friday's 1-0 win over Uruguay, according to manager Luis de la Fuente, per Jose Juis Allegue of Marca. "We have to wait, he has discomfort. It can be an overload or fatigue. We'll see."
Analysis: Williams is another concern for Spain after Yeremy Pino suffered an apparent broken collarbone, as Williams was also a part of the rough tackling by Uruguay to end the match. This is a major concern for the team as he heads into testing, as anything serious could knock him out of the remainder of the World Cup, as he was already dealing with muscle concerns before the tournament. If this is the case, the team will be less with limited options on the left of the attack. Victor Munoz (strain) is also injured, leaving either Alex Baena or Ferran Torres to start on the left.
Plays from bench again
Williams recorded two crosses in Sunday's 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia.
Analysis: Williams was brought onto the field from the bench once again after the same role in their opener, although he would appear for a bit longer with 29 minutes of play Sunday. He will now push for starting time in the group stage finale, one of Spain's standout players at Euro 2024.
