Liverpool winger Victor Munoz has received a late call-up to the Spain squad for the upcoming Nations League matches. The 23-year-old forward has been included in Luis de la Fuente's squad for the games against the Czech Republic and England.
Munoz's Road to Anfield
Munoz, who was part of Spain's World Cup-winning squad last summer, joined Liverpool after the tournament in a £34.5million transfer from La Liga side Osasuna. He has had a mixed start to life at Anfield, scoring two goals in his first 12 matches for the Merseyside club.
The forward made the switch to the Premier League side after an impressive single season with Osasuna, with eight goal contributions in 34 appearances in Spain's top division. Before that, he had come through Real Madrid's youth system, and he made two appearances for the club's first team in the 2024-25 campaign.
International Experience and Injury Return
For his country, Munoz has five senior caps and one goal, which he scored in a friendly against Serbia back in March this year. He has struggled with a knee injury in recent weeks, missing three matches - the wins over Villarreal, Brighton and Chelsea across the Champions League, Premier League and Carabao Cup.
He returned to action in the 1-0 home defeat by Arsenal at Anfield on November 1, as Kai Havertz netted the winner for the reigning Premier League champions. Spain hold a three-point advantage over England at the top of Group A3 ahead of the upcoming fixtures.
