Luis Enrique will not be able to finally have Adama Traoré for the game that this Sunday will measure the Spanish team and Ukraine on the second day of the League of Nations. The winger of Wolverhampton, who missed the appointment against Germany due to a positive suspect in coronavirus last weekend, had joined the group and even exercised with his teammates in the Ciudad del Fútbol de Las Rozas, but finally he will not be able to be from the departure for the UEFA sanitary protocol.
Despite the fact that the Spanish Football Federation (FEF) had received, after the meeting held on Thursday in Stuttgart, the confirmation of the results of the definitive test that should mark whether Adama could join the concentration, the last PCR test to which the A player of Malian origin did not give a conclusive negative result, so according to the health regulations established by UEFA, he will not be able to enter the stadium even if he has antibodies.
Adama’s debut continues to resist, as he was called by Robert Moreno in his last call as coach back in November 2019, but he finally fell off the list due to injury. In this way, the debate has been installed for months, since until an official clash with the absolute Spanish team plays, it could also act with Mali, the country of its family origin.
The African team has tried by all means to convince Adama to play for the country of his parents but has not succeeded. Traoré only wants to succeed with Spain. He is sure that Luis Enrique’s commitment to him is not a one-day flower. The selection, of which he has been part in lower categories, has followed him for a long time. Adama considers that his call has nothing to do with what happened with Munir or Bojan, cited at the time so that they did not go to Morocco and Serbia, respectively, but whose passage through La Roja was ephemeral.
Adama is a physical marvel and his speed and overflow on the wing is needed by the Spanish team. He is a different player to what is currently among the selectable, a type capable of altering the course of a game by coming off the bench. “I think he is the most unbalancing player in Europe,” said Luis Enrique to highlight the essential virtue for which he was called among those chosen for his re-release as coach after 18 months.
