Spain will face Denmark and Serbia in the Nations League without key striker Nico Williams, who has been sidelined due to an injury sustained while with Athletic Bilbao. Williams reported to the national team's training camp at Las Rozas, near Madrid, but was released after discussions between the medical teams of his club and the national team, as confirmed by a statement from the Spanish football federation.

The absence of Williams is a significant blow for Spain, especially given his standout performance during Euro 2024, where he played a pivotal role in leading the team to victory. He was notably named man of the match after scoring the opener in Spain's 2-1 win over England in Berlin back in July.

To fill the gap left by Williams, Real Sociedad winger Sergio Gomez has been called up to the squad. Gomez was part of the Olympic gold medal-winning team and will be looking to make an impact in the upcoming matches in Murcia and Cordoba.

With young talents like Williams and Lamine Yamal of Barcelona emerging as the future of the national team, Spain remains optimistic about maintaining their competitive edge in international football.
