Yamal and Williams absences not fatal for Spain, claims MerinoShareSpain will be without Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams for their World Cup qualifier against Georgia, but Mikel Merino is not worried.Mikel Merino believes Spanish fans will see a “recognisable team” in their World Cup qualifier against Georgia despite injuries to key players.Lamine Yamal, who assisted three times in two games during the last international break, and Nico Williams were both left out of Luis de la Fuente’s side due to their respective injuries.Spain made a perfect start to their qualifying campaign for next summer’s World Cup, beating Bulgaria 3-0 before thrashing Turkey 6-0.The reigning European champions have kept a clean sheet in each of their last six World Cup qualifiers, their longest run of games without conceding a goal in the competition (since at least 2010).Merino, who scored a hat-trick in their win against Turkey, believes Spain have the squad to adapt to the absences of Yamal and Williams.“You can win games from the bench. Matches are decided in the final minutes, and you have to do well no matter what you're playing,” said Merino."[We are taught to] think about the group. [We have] players with a lot of resources and very good one-on-one.“We will see a recognisable team.”De la Fuente received another blow to his squad after concerns over Dani Olmo’s fitness.During his press conference, the head coach said: “[Olmo] came in feeling tired and a little uncomfortable.“He trained for 15 minutes and wasn't feeling comfortable. They've run some tests on him, but everyone else is in perfect condition.“I'm extremely upset about any player's injury. We'll see what happens with Dani, let's wait for the medical report.”De la Fuente was criticised by Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick after Yamal returned to club football with an injury after the September break, but both coaches will be hoping to avoid a similar situation this time around.“We're playing for World Cup qualification, we have to win these matches,” added De la Fuente.“Georgia is an opponent with very good players, we have to give our all to win. We're going to go all out for the match.”Yamal and Williams absences not fatal for Spain, claims MerinoSpain will be without Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams for their World Cup qualifier against Georgia, but Mikel Merino is not worried.Mikel Merino believes Spanish fans will see a “recognisable team” in their World Cup qualifier against Georgia despite injuries to key players.Lamine Yamal, who assisted three times in two games during the last international break, and Nico Williams were both left out of Luis de la Fuente’s side due to their respective injuries.Spain made a perfect start to their qualifying campaign for next summer’s World Cup, beating Bulgaria 3-0 before thrashing Turkey 6-0.The reigning European champions have kept a clean sheet in each of their last six World Cup qualifiers, their longest run of games without conceding a goal in the competition (since at least 2010).Merino, who scored a hat-trick in their win against Turkey, believes Spain have the squad to adapt to the absences of Yamal and Williams.“You can win games from the bench.
