Could return for opener
Munoz (quadriceps) is expected to be ready for Spain's World Cup opener versus Cape Verde on June 15, but he will stay at the team's base in Chattanooga to continue focused rehab on his quadriceps instead of traveling to Puebla for the final pre-tournament friendly against Peru, according to Miguel Angel Lara of Marca.
Analysis: Munoz ended the La Liga season with six goals and two assists across 34 appearances (31 starts) for Osasuna, and his recovery from a quadriceps issue is progressing within the expected timeframe. Manager De la Fuente will manage his return carefully even if cleared in time for the opener, with the winger's fitness representing an important additional attacking option for Spain heading into what promises to be a historic World Cup campaign for the reigning European champions.
Managed ahead of WC opener
Munoz (quadriceps) is being carefully managed ahead of Spain's World Cup opener against Cape Verde on June 15, with coach Luis de la Fuente confirming the winger remains in recovery and will not feature against Iraq in one of the pre-tournament friendlies, according to El Mundo.
Analysis: Munoz ended the La Liga season with six goals and two assists across 34 appearances (31 starts) for Osasuna, and coach De la Fuente expressed optimism about his chances of being available for the opening fixture, indicating the recovery is progressing well. The coach stopped short of guaranteeing his involvement even if cleared in time, suggesting his minutes may be carefully managed to build his fitness gradually as Spain look to have every attacking option available for what promises to be a historic World Cup campaign for the reigning European champions.
