Picked for bench
Williams (groin) is on the bench for Monday's match against Portugal.
Analysis: Williams is back with the team as expected following a groin injury, fit enough to take a spot on the bench. This will give the Spanish team a very useful super-sub from the bench, likely to enter in the later stages of the match. If at his best, he could be a real danger to Portugal, especially in a tight contest that could see extra time.
Should be available Monday
Williams (groin) trained fully with the Spain squad on Sunday in Dallas alongside all 26 players, putting him on course to be available for Monday's round of 16 clash against Portugal, according to L'Equipe.
Analysis: Williams had missed the round of 32 victory over Austria due to the adductor injury he suffered against Uruguay, but his return to collective training the day before the Portugal fixture is the clearest sign yet that he has recovered sufficiently to feature. That said, it is unlikely to see him start against the Portuguese, with Alex Baena as the likely option to begin on the left wing. Coach Luis de la Fuente now has his full squad available for what promises to be one of the most anticipated fixtures of the tournament.
