Victor Munoz was set for a slightly easier international break after being left out of the Spain squad, but it seems as though plans have had to change for the Liverpool star

Liverpool star Victor Munoz has received a late call-up to the Spain national team squad for the November international break, in a U-turn from head coach Luis de la Fuente.

The winger was not initially included in the group for the two-week break, coming as a slight blow to his chances of breaking into the starting team on a regular basis.

Munoz was included in the World Cup squad over the summer, and although he didn't feature for a single minute during the competition, he walked away with a winner's medal and an ideal experience to kickstart his international career. Then came a call-up over the combined September and October break, as the 23-year-old featured in the extended time away with the world champions.

It came as a slight surprise that the Liverpool star wasn't then included in the latest squad, having made himself fit and available again after struggling with injury on his return to club action.

While that came as an initial blow for Munoz, who has had a positive start to life at Anfield so far, there has been a U-turn from the managerial staff for La Roja, who have now called the forward up to the team in an immediate boost to his chances with the national team.

"Víctor Muñoz joins the Spain national team camp," a statement from the team reads, confirming the decision. "The Liverpool player will join the squad tonight."

This means the pacey winger will be available for Spain's upcoming UEFA Nations League clashes, starting off with a clash against Czechia before taking on England in the final match of the group.

The World Champions have already sealed a place in the quarter-finals of the competition, having picked up 12 points from a possible 12 on offer, while the top spot is still up for grabs, with the Three Lions sitting just three points behind.

It means Munoz could have a chance to impress De la Fuente in the coming matches, with the potential for the manager to look at rotating his options and learning more about the fringe players within his squad.

So far, the former Real Madrid man only has five appearances for Spain, but the fact he keeps receiving call-ups certainly suggests that the coaching staff for the national team see the qualities that he could provide for the present and in the future.

Munoz's impactful start at Liverpool may have only helped him make a case for the U-turn, with the star scoring twice and assisting once for the Merseyside outfit since joining in the summer.

While there is hope that he may be able to reach the heights of the other star names in the forward line, the early signs are positive for a player who has perhaps gone under the radar among the fanbase and pundits.

Another trip to join the Spain squad gives the Reds star an opportunity to build up even more experience around top players and a chance to get some more valuable minutes under his belt.
