After the injuries of Dani Olmo and Marco Asensio In the match against Georgia, Luis de la Fuente has chosen Ferran Torres as a substitute in the Spanish team, a Barça forward who was left out of the squad despite the great start to the season.
The one from Foios had not received the call from the Spanish team since the past Qatar World Cup, And he has not been included in any of Luis de la Fuente’s three calls since he took charge of the national team. The other chosen for the La Roja coach is Jeremiah Pino, Villareal attacker, who was present in the last window, that of the Nations League. Both will travel together from Valencia to Madrid.
The Barça player was training in Valencia and will travel to the Las Rozas Soccer City as quickly as possible. His brilliant start to the season with FC Barcelona has helped him return to the ‘Roja’: two goals in three games and 63 minutes.
Ferran Torres has played 35 meetings with the Spanish team, in which he has scored 15 goals: six in the Nations League, four in World Cup qualifiers, two in the World Cup, two in the Euro Cup and one in friendlies. So, nine months later, Ferran Torres returns with the ‘Roja’.
In this way, De la Fuente will once again have 24 players available for this Tuesday’s match against Cyprus (8:45 p.m.). For this reason, the national coach will have to make a new discard for this new qualifying match for Euro 2024, given that there can only be 23 players called up. For the game against Georgia the one ruled out was Abel Ruiz.
