CARVAJAL MISSES PRACTICE WITH FLU
Defender Dani Carvajal has the flu and didn’t practice on Monday, two days before Spain’s opener at the World Cup. The Spanish federation didn’t give more detail about the condition of the right back. His absence comes as regular starting striker Álvaro Morata returned to practice after his own bout with the flu. Central defender Hugo Guillamón, nursing a knee issue, trained separately and was unlikely to be available for Wednesday’s opening match.
