Alejandro Balde could receive a call from the Spanish Federation this Sunday to join the concentration of the Spanish team this Monday. Balde could be picked up after falling off the initial list of 25 players for the matches against Cyprus and Georgia.
Luis de la Fuente had opted on this occasion for Gayà and Grimaldo to cover the left back. Therefore, the two left-footed wingers mentioned in the previous October window were left out: Bucket and Fran García. Pedraza was not there either. who was called in urgently before traveling to Norway due to some discomfort from the Blaugrana. The Villarreal footballer is injured.
The doubt comes due to Gayà’s physical condition. The Valencia player suffered a knee problem that forced him to be substituted in Real Madrid-Valencia. Although his technician, Rubén Baraja, spoke of just “one blow”, the player will undergo testing during this Sunday to determine exactly the extent of the injury.
If it is mild, Gayà will be in Las Rozas this Monday. Otherwise, De la Fuente would repechage a left winger with Balde and Fran García as candidates.
Barça – Alavés
Bucket must play at 4:15 p.m. against Alavés in Montjuïc and it is most likely that a hypothetical call would occur at the end of the meeting or at the last hour of the day.
The Federation will probably wait until the last moment in case further setbacks arise over the weekend. It is worth remembering that De la Fuente had to call Ansu Fati and Bryan Zaragoza urgently in the previous window due to the injuries of Yéremi Pino and Lamine Yamal.
Balde was a starter in the match against Scotland in October, but was only able to participate during the first half due to discomfort that forced him to abandon concentration and He no longer went to Norway.
Spain faces Cyprus in Limassol on Thursday and Georgia in Valladolid on Sunday to close the qualifying phase for the 2024 Euro Cup.
La Roja is already classified, but he wants to achieve first place in the group, which he now shares with Scotland, and ensure be seeded in the draw on October 2 in Hamburg.
