Spain coach De la Fuente concerned about Ceballos injury blow after Olympics opener

Spain coach Luis de la Fuente admits injury problems for Dani Ceballos and Oscar Mingueza after their opening Olympics draw with Egypt.

Real Madrid midfielder Ceballos suffered an ankle injury, while Barcelona defender also broke down.

After the 0-0 draw, De la Fuente said: “The injuries of Mingueza and Ceballos do not look good. I hope I am wrong, but there have been two injuries that could have stopped them for a while.

"I have mixed feelings, now to think about Australia.

“The first game always involves difficulties and, on top of that, injuries have turned everything upside down. We have gone from less to more. You have to keep fighting."
