MADRID: For young Spain defender Hugo Guillamón, any downtime at the World Cup may mean study time. The 22-year-old Valencia player is heading to Qatar for his first World Cup while still attending university and studying biomedical engineering. “If there’s time and everything goes well, I’ll try to (study) a bit,” Guillamón said Tuesday.
Spain defender Sergio Ramos said he was disappointed to be excluded from their World Cup squad after returning to full fitness following a calf injury that limited his playing time with Paris St Germain last season.
Spain are looking to win their second World Cup title at the Nov. 20-Dec. 18 tournament in Qatar. Here's what you need to know about their squad:
NEWCASTLE: Eddie Howe has revealed Callum Wilson faces a late fitness test ahead of the visit of Chelsea to Tyneside. The Newcastle United frontman — called up to Gareth Southgate’s England World Cup squad this week — was withdrawn halfway through the 4-1 win at Southampton last weekend due to illness, and was absent altogether from the Carabao Cup win over Crystal Palace in midweek. “We’ll wait and see,” said head coach Howe when asked whether the No.9 will be fit to face Champions League rivals, the Blues.

The 20-year-old Barcelona forward was not used in September's Nations League clashes and has not been at his best for his club this season.
DAKAR, Senegal: Sadio Mane was included in Senegal’s World Cup squad on Friday as coach Aliou Cissé gambled on one of the world’s best forward being fit and ready in time after injuring his lower right leg this week playing for Bayern Munich. Cisse said Senegal’s medical team hoped that Mane would need about a week to recover from the injury he sustained on Tuesday in a league game in Germany and therefore be ready for Senegal’s opening game at the World Cup against the Netherlands on Nov. 21 — on paper the strongest team Senegal will face in Group A in Qatar.
