Spain returned to training on Monday at Dignity Health Sports Park in Los Angeles after qualifying for the World Cup Round of 16 with a win over Austria, with Lamine Yamal, Aymeric Laporte, Pedro Porro and Nico Williams not taking part on the pitch and instead doing recovery work in the gym, according to Yahoo Sports. The report said there was no major concern over their availability for Spain’s Round-of-16 match against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal, and added that Dani Olmo also trained separately before the squad was set to travel to Dallas to continue preparations.
