Newcastle's summer signing Sean Steur played 90 minutes in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Gateshead. Luke Supyk put the National League side ahead in the first-half and it was Ben Williams' own goal that pulled Eddie Howe's men level in the second. In what was the Magpies first fan-facing friendly of the summer, Howe made lots of changes and Fabian Schar was back in action for the first time since he suffered an ankle injury in January.

The lineups for the 2026 World Cup match between Spain and Belgium don't include Nico Williams. With a place in the semifinals of the 2026 World Cup at stake, Spain are playing against Belgium, but Nico Williams is not in the starting lineup. The reason Williams isn’t starting against Belgium is because he is still recovering from a groin injury and is not yet 100% fit. Spain’s coaching staff decided not to risk the winger, who could be used later if the team needs him. It wasn’t a surprise that Williams isn’t in the lineup because he missed the matches against Austria and Portugal. The winger picked up the injury during the final group-stage match against Uruguay after a tackle by Nicolás de la Cruz. The replacement Williams suffered the injury during Spain’s 1-0 victory over Uruguay, a result that secured first place in the group. Even though he was able to leave the field on his own, the discomfort has prevented him from being fully available since then. Baena was chosen as left winger (Florencia Tan Jun/Getty Images) There aren’t many players in Spain’s squad with Williams’ profile on the left wing, especially because of the pace he brings, which led Luis de la Fuente to choose a player with more control on the ball but less speed. The manager’s decision was Alex Baena, who started every match except the opener against Cape Verde, when Gavi played on the left wing. Baena scored against Uruguay and also recorded an assist in the victory over Austria. Williams’ recovery Spain have taken a cautious approach with Williams’ recovery, as the winger has not yet fully recovered from the groin injury he suffered against Uruguay. While he has continued working with the team, the coaching staff decided he was not ready to start.
Despite their disappointing draw in the opening match, Spain managed to regain their form, qualifying for the knockout stage of the 2026 World Cup as top contenders. However, Luis de la Fuente's team have dropped positions in the FIFA Men's World Ranking. Spain have established as one of the top contenders for the 2026 World Cup. Luis de la Fuente has managed to impose his powerful attack, despite the complicated injuries to his stars. For this, Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedri have been essential, performing consistently. However, they have dropped positions in the FIFA Men’s World Ranking ahead of their Round of 32 clash against Austria. According to the FIFA Men’s World Ranking, Spain are ranked 3rd with 1879.58 points. Despite their two recent victories, they have lost one position in the ranking. With their promising project, they have managed to significantly improve their international standing after several years without shinning. However, they have yet to match their highest-ever ranking, which was 1st in July of 2014. Despite having lost one place in the rankings, Luis de la Fuente’s team remains above Austria. Ralf Rangnick’s team is ranked 23rd with 1,598.82 points, improving compared to previous years but still trailing Spain by a considerable margin. However, they could still surprise Spain in today’s game by relying on gegenpressing as their main approach. Nonetheless, their main task will be being effective in front of goal, as they may have only a couple of chances. Head coach Luis de la Fuente has not managed to establish Spain as a completely dominant team. Despite the victories, they have not managed to control the tempo of the game, finding it quite difficult to break down solid defenses. To reach their best version, Pedri and Rodri need to be at their best. However, all eyes will be on Lamine Yamal, as he has still not managed to make a brilliant impact, something they will need against Austria. Lamine Yamal #19 of Spain celebrates with teammate Rodri #16 after scoring a goal. Spain are not in top physical form heading into Austria clash After a brilliant performance in the UEFA qualifiers, Spain expected to dominate the group stage of the 2026 World Cup. However, they had more problems than usual to shine, despite finishing at the top of the group. One of the main factors behind their inconsistent performances is that their stars arrived injured or had only recently returned from injury, something that could limit them significantly against Austria. Lamine Yamal has started Spain’s last two matches, but he is coming off a fairly serious injury. In one of his most recent interviews, he revealed that he is at 80–90% of full fitness, so we have not yet seen him at his physical best. In addition, Mikel Merino, who has also been a starter, has still not managed to reach his best version, playing only 60 minutes against Uruguay. Far from their problems ending there, Spain lost Nico Williams for the match against Austria, after a season marked by injuries. Although Álex Baena has been the starter and has performed well, he does not have the same dribbling ability. With this in mind, Luis de la Fuente’s team have lost the best version of several stars, something that could prove very costly against Austria, who could surprise them on the counterattack and with their collective play.
