New Yrok, June 30 (SocialNews.XYZ) Spain has had some positive news on the injury front with the confirmation that winger Nico Williams didn't suffer a torn groin muscle in his side's 1-0 win over Uruguay on Friday night and has a chance of playing again in the World Cup.
Williams was seen limping badly after the game following a dreadful challenge from behind from Uruguay's Nicolas de la Cruz and early expectations were that he had suffered a groin injury that would end his World Cup.
Williams wrote on social media that it was the "worst day" of his life, but tests have shown that he hasn't suffered a torn muscle and that although he won't be able to play against Austria on July 2 in the last-32, if Spain qualifies, he will have a chance of playing in either the last-16 or quarter-finals.
Speaking on Spanish state TV network, RTVE, on Monday, Spain coach Luis de la Fuente, was asked about Williams and said that after he saw the winger's message, "I went to talk to him and gave him my opinion."
"I spoke to him about perseverance, about overcoming problems and suffering, because you have to be used to this kind of moment - and I told him he was prepared."
"It helped to change his attitude completely and if you speak to him (Williams) now, he will tell you things that are very different to that moment when he was really down," explained De la Fuente.
