Yéremy Pino, the 23-year-old Spanish winger currently on the books at Crystal Palace, has been ruled out of the remainder of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after sustaining a collarbone fracture during Spain’s 1-0 group-stage victory over Uruguay on June 26. The injury occurred when Pino landed awkwardly after a collision in the 66th minute, and somehow, he finished the match anyway.
Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente called Pino’s decision to play through the pain “heroic.”
What happened on the pitch
Pino entered the match as a substitute and almost immediately found trouble. The collision left him clutching his left shoulder, visibly in distress, but he stayed on and helped Spain close out the win.
De la Fuente confirmed post-match that further imaging would determine the severity. Those results were not kind. A confirmed fracture means Pino’s tournament is over, stripping Spain of a versatile attacking option just as they advance from Group H into the elimination rounds.
