FIFA World Cup Qualifiers: Luis Enrique’s Spain face injury worry ahead of Greece clash. Spain will be facing Greece in their FIFA World Cup Qualifying match to try and finish on top of the group ahead of current group leaders Sweden who have a 2 point lead against the Spain. Around 9 players will not be available for coach Luis Enrique as they have been sidelined due to injury concerns.
Spain enter their final two matches in second place in Group B, two points behind Sweden and four ahead of third-place Greece. Only the group winners qualify for the next years tournament in Qatar, while the second-place finishers will have to go through a playoff.
Pedri, Ferran Torres and Marcos Llorente are few of the players who couldn’t be called up by Luis Enrique who helped lead Spain to the semifinals of the European Championship a few months ago. Also missing from the Euro 2020 squad are Gerard Moreno, Mikel Oyarzabal and Eric Garcia.
Garcia was was hurt while playing for Barcelona in the Spanish league, as was young forward Ansu Fati, who was returning to the national team after a long absence because of another injury. Yeremi Pino had to be replaced after being called up to the national side.
The coach was able to get a few players back after they recovered from recent injuries, including Pau Torres, Jose Gaya, Jordi Alba, Alvaro Morata and Dani Olmo.

Two victories will be enough for Spain to finish first in its group and qualify for the World Cup as Spain will be playing Sweden in the last matchday.
A draw against Greece will guarantee at least a second-place finish in the group, which would send Spain into the playoffs against the other nine group runners-up and two group winners from the UEFA Nations League. A win by Sweden at fourth-place Georgia on Thursday and a Spain draw against Greece will secure first place for the Swedes.
