Team news
Spain are monitoring the fitness of wingers Nico Williams and Yeremy Pino, both of whom picked up knocks against Uruguay. However, Victor Munoz has returned from a thigh injury to bolster attacking options. Austria expect David Alaba and Marko Arnautovic to be fit despite being substituted with minor knocks in their last match. If Arnautovic fails a late fitness test, Michael Gregoritsch or Sasa Kalajdzic is likely to start.
Form guide
Spain began their tournament with a goalless draw against Cape Verde but recovered to dominate their group, thrashing Saudi Arabia 4-0 and beating Uruguay 1-0.
