According to a report by Evening Standard on Monday, November 9, 2026, Spain unexpectedly called up Liverpool forward Victor Munoz to their national team after he returned from a three-week injury layoff.

The 23-year-old will get another chance to play for his nation at the senior level as he is part of Luis de la Fuente's squad for the forthcoming Nations League matches against England and the Czech Republic.

After a recent battle with a knee injury that kept him out of three straight Liverpool matches, Munoz's inclusion is encouraging.

The Spanish winger missed out on playing time in the Premier League wins against Brighton and Villarreal, as well as Chelsea's Carabao Cup match. During his absence, Arne Slot's side continued to compete in various competitions, which meant he missed a crucial part of the campaign.

But on November 1, in Liverpool's Premier League match against Arsenal at Anfield, the ex-Osasuna attacker made his return to action.

Even though Munoz was in the starting lineup, Liverpool lost to the defending Premier League winners 1-0 thanks to a goal from Kai Havertz.

With his fitness level back up, he has been offered another international opportunity, this time with Spain, who are aiming to keep their lead in Nations League Group A3.

With a three-point lead over England, La Roja will be looking to solidify their group position in the next matches.

Following last summer's World Cup, Munoz impressed while playing for Osasuna and was subsequently transferred to Liverpool for £34.5 million.

The Premier League club was interested in the winger after he impressed in 34 La Liga appearances (including eight goals and eight assists) during his last season with Osasuna.

During the 2024–25 season, he made two appearances for Real Madrid's first team after progressing through the club's youth system.

Munoz has had a shaky start to his Liverpool career, scoring twice in 12 appearances since arriving at Anfield.

The forward has made five senior appearances for Spain's national team and scored once. In March of 2026, in a friendly match against Serbia, he scored his sole goal for his national team.

Munoz can put his international experience to use and prove he has fully recovered from his recent injury woes with this latest call-up.

His play in the Nations League matches could also be a springboard for him to get back on track and become a key offensive option for Liverpool going forward.
