Japan vs Spain LIVE: Stream, TV channel and team news as Morata STARTS World Cup 2022 Group E clash – updates

ALVARO MORATA has been rewarded with a start for Spain tonight in their crunch Group E tie against Japan.

The former Chelsea striker netted against the Germans in the previous group game, where the Spaniards were seven minutes away from pulling off a huge win over the Germans before Niclas Fullkrug’s equaliser.

But Luis Enrique’s side can still top the group with a win over a hard-fighting Japanese team.

However, a Japan win would not only see them finish as group winners, but could see Spain go OUT if Croatia beat Germany.
