Euro 2024 champions Spain conclude their World Cup preparations with a friendly against Peru in the early hours of Tuesday morning. The match, which takes place at Estadio Cuauhtemoc in Puebla, Mexico, kicks off at 3am BST on Monday, June 8.
Team news
Spain manager Luis de la Fuente will be without several key players for this fixture. Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, and Victor Munoz are all recovering from muscle injuries and have been ruled out of the Peru clash. Their availability for Spain's World Cup opener against Cape Verde next week remains uncertain, although de la Fuente remains optimistic.
De la Fuente's update
Speaking ahead of the match, the Spain boss said: "For us, this is a very important match. We are not approaching it simply as a preparation game." He added: "If there are no setbacks in the coming days, we expect them to be available on the 15th. I think all three will be in a position to play. All three are within the expected timelines to arrive in good condition for June 15. The most important thing is that those timelines are being met and will continue to be met, so they can be with us and available to be selected at some point in the match."

Spain's World Cup prospects
Having been the best side in Europe two years ago, Spain will head into this World Cup as one of the favourites. However, their chances of another World Cup triumph—to go along with their 2010 success—could rest on the fitness of Yamal, Williams, and Munoz, particularly Barcelona's Yamal. The trio's recovery ahead of the Cape Verde game will be crucial for Spain's ambitions.
