New Yrok: 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.
