The injury to Pau Torres opened the possibility of one more place for Luis de la Fuente to complete his team for the last two games of the group in the Nations League. Pau Cubarsi is the chosen one.
The Spanish national team will face Denmark and Switzerland in this international break to close the first phase of the Nations League. They only have the first place in the group at stake.
But Luis de La Fuente wants to maintain the level of demand during these last two games. When he was called up, he did not retain any players, except those who were forced to leave the team, such as Lamine Yamal. But already in the last game he had to make changes at the last minute.
Aston Villa central defender Pau Torres was ruled out due to injury and the manager quickly informed the RFEF of his replacement. The chosen candidate is Pau Cubarsi, who could have been in the first list, but the points he received in the match against Red Star made the coach cautious with the young central defender. Seeing that he could play against Real Sociedad with a mask and without problems, he decided to list him with La Roja. Pau Cubarsi will arrive at the training center of the Spanish selection this afternoon to take part in training sessions and be available before traveling to Denmark, where Spain will play the first leg of the double.
The FC Barcelona defender, who has also been integrated in Hansi Flick team despite his youth, has already played four international games with the Spanish selection before this call. He will join Aymeric Laporte, Aitor Paredes and Dani Vivian in defence.
