Zaragoza and Bryan Gil earn Spain call-up due to late injuries

Problems for Luis de La Fuente in the months following the European Championship. After the serious injury to Rodri and the already confirmed injury to Dani Carvajal, the latest to suffer an injury setback was Ferran Torres in Vitoria. Nico Williams is also still carrying a knock and could be a doubt until the last minute. For this reason, Luis de la Fuente has decided to modify the first call-up list he offered a few days ago.

The Barca winger felt a twinge in his muscle a few minutes after the start of the match against Alaves. In fact, he was substituted. Shortly afterwards, the Spanish Federation issued a statement regarding the coach's changes for the upcoming matches against Denmark and Serbia in the Nations League.

The long-term injured Carvajal and Ferran Torres himself are already confirmed as absentees. Not yet Nico Williams, who is not mentioned in the press release. The players chosen by De la Fuente to make the list are Bryan Gil and Bryan Zaragoza. Two profiles of wingers that he adds for the next two duels.

The Girona player already played for the senior side in the 2021 Nations League finals under Luis Enrique. He was also a regular in the youth ranks under Luis de La Fuente. Zaragoza also returns, whose only previous Spain appearance was with the current coach in October 2023, when he was playing for Granada.
