Victor Munoz
22-Year-Old
Osasuna
La Liga
Named among substitutes
Munoz (quadriceps) is on the bench for Monday's World Cup opener against Cape Verde.
ANALYSIS
Munoz has been included in the squad after returning to team training as the latest of Spain's three injured players to get back onto the pitch, with the coaching staff opting to build his rhythm through game time off the bench rather than handing him an immediate starting role for the tournament opener. His return alongside Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal represents a timely collective lift for a Spain side heading into the World Cup opener against Cape Verde, and his presence among the substitutes offers the coaching staff a useful option to call upon as they manage his return carefully. Munoz is expected to continue in a substitute role for the foreseeable future as the coaching staff monitor his fitness carefully, with his reintegration into the starting lineup likely to depend on how he responds to increased game time across Spain's opening group fixtures.

Scores, suffers quad issue
Munoz made an immediate return to the lineup following a three-game absence due to a calf injury and scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Espanyol. However, he finished the game with discomfort in his quadriceps, which makes him a serious doubt for the crucial next game against Getafe, with hopes of being available for the World Cup. According to Osasuna sporting director Braulio Vazquez, per Mundo Deportivo, "It's difficult for him to make it to Saturday against Getafe, but I hope he goes to the World Cup."
