Spain defeated Czechia 2-0 in Prague to extend their unbeaten run to 43 matches and preserve their perfect Nations League group record. Coach Luis de la Fuente also confirmed that Lamine Yamal is expected back for Sunday’s meeting with England.

Álex Baena and Marc Pubill scored as Spain recorded a fifth straight win in Group A3. Yamal missed the match because of knee pain, but De la Fuente said he and striker Mikel Oyarzabal were recovering and would rejoin the squad.
