The Story in 60 Seconds

Spain manager Luis de la Fuente has handed Liverpool forward Victor Munoz a late call-up for upcoming Nations League fixtures against Czechia and England. The 23-year-old was initially omitted from the squad, but fitness issues affecting Lamine Yamal and Mikel Oyarzabal led to his emergency inclusion on Monday.

The late call-up means Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola will see nearly his entire forward department depart for international duty. Only outcast winger Federico Chiesa remains behind among the club's attackers, joining a small group of senior and injured players staying at the AXA training ground.
