Marco Asensio and Dani Olmo left the 'La Roja' squad after suffering injuries during the first half of the Georgia-Spain match on Friday. According to, 'Mundo Deportivo', Luis de la Fuente has decided to call up Ferran Torres to replace them.

The Spanish national team did not fall into the trap of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's Georgia on Friday, winning comfortably 7-1 in Tbilisi as part of the qualifiers for Euro 2024.

The end of the first half slightly overshadowed the Spanish picture, with Dani Olmo and Marco Asensio, who scored an assist for Alvaro Morata, going off injured.

According to 'Mundo Deportivo', Spain's coach Luis de la Fuente chose to call up Barcelona winger Ferran Torres.

The Barcelona player will be arriving in Madrid later today, and is expected to get some playing time at Spain-Cyprus next Tuesday. The 23-year-old striker has scored 2 goals in three games (63 minutes of play) this season.
