Spain winger Yeremy Pino may miss the rest of the World Cup with a suspected broken collarbone.<\/b><\/p>\n
Pino was injured during the closing stages of Saturday’s 1-0 victory over Uruguay’ having fallen awkwardly on his left shoulder following a challenge.<\/p>\n
Despite appearing to be in considerable pain, the Crystal Palace player completed the match because Spain had already made all of their permitted substitutions.<\/p>\n
Head coach Luis de la Fuente, who had brought on Pino in the 66th minute, admitted the initial diagnosis was worrying.<\/p>\n
“It looks like Yeremy may have broken his collarbone,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Tomorrow they are going to do some tests and we will see how far the injury is.<\/p>\n
“The man is suffering a lot and the effort he has made is tremendous, possibly with a broken collarbone to hold on until the end of the match… It has been heroic and I am very grateful, like all his team-mates.”<\/p>\n
A fractured collarbone would almost certainly rule Pino out for the remainder of the tournament, as the knockout stages begin. <\/p>\n
Spain topped Group H with seven points, setting up a last-32 tie next Thursday in Los Angeles against either Austria or Algeria. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
