Liverpool forward Victor Munoz has been called up to the Spain squad in a shock international selection after returning from a three week injury layoff, according to a report by the Evening Standard on Monday, November 9, 2026.

The 23-year-old has been named in Luis de la Fuente's squad for upcoming Nations League games against the Czech Republic and England. It is positive news for Munoz after struggling with an injury to his knee that caused him to miss three games.

Munoz has been missing from Liverpool's three wins in the Premier League against Villarreal and Brighton, as well as their Carabao Cup game against Chelsea.

However, he returned to action in Liverpool's Premier League clash with Arsenal on November 1. Despite featuring, Liverpool lost to the current Premier League champions 1-0, with Kai Havertz scoring the winner.

The Spanish winger has now returned to full fitness and has been given another chance to play for his country as Spain look to keep their Nations League Group A3 lead.

They are currently three points ahead of England. Munoz moved to Liverpool from Osasuna in a £34.5 million deal after the World Cup last summer.

He scored eight goals and provided as many assists in 34 games for La Liga last season which caught the eye of a Premier League club.

Previously, Munoz had come through Real Madrid's youth setup and made two appearances for the Spanish giants in the 2024-25 campaign.

Since moving to Anfield, Munoz has struggled to find his feet, scoring just two goals in his first 12 games.

Internationally, the forward has appeared five times for Spain's senior side, scoring once. He has only scored one goal for his country, coming in the friendly against Serbia back in March 2026.

The latest call up will give Munoz a chance to make the most of his experience with the national team and prove he has fully recovered from his injury issues.

Munoz can also use the Nations League games to get back on track as he looks to become an important attacking threat for Liverpool in the second half of the season.
