Spain call up Huijsen in place of Inigo Martinez
Dean Huijsen has been called up to the Spanish senior squad in place of Inigo Martinez, who finished the match against Atletico Madrid on Sunday with discomfort.
Dean Huijsen has finally been called up to the Spanish national team. He was one of the possible surprises in De la Fuente's list on Friday, although he was not called up at that time. This Monday, the Federation has confirmed his presence.
"Inigo Martinez has been ruled out of the Spanish national team squad due to internal parameniscitis in his right knee, according to the report received from Barcelona. In his place, Luis de la Fuente has called up Dean Huijsen, initially called up by Santi Denia for the U21 commitments," the RFEF said in the statement.
Huijsen was one of the great revelations not only among Spanish youngsters, but in the Premier League as a whole. The Danish-born, Malaga-raised and naturalised Spaniard earned a place in Iraola's eleven at Bournemouth.
The Bournemouth defender was in the running to be promoted to the Spanish national team. It was through injury that he got his first call-up under Luis de la Fuente.
