Spain Leave Out Two Barcelona Stars
Barcelona have received mixed international news after Spain announced their latest squad for the upcoming Nations League campaign.
Barcelona players Gavi and goalkeeper Joan García were left out of Luis de la Fuente’s squad.
García is currently sidelined with a knee injury. Gavi is unavailable because of a one-match suspension carried over from the World Cup final.
The decision comes shortly after Barcelona’s spectacular 7-2 victory over Racing Santander. Raphinha scored a hat-trick as the Catalan giants continued their excellent start to the season.
Spain’s squad includes several changes from the team that won the World Cup in July. New faces have received opportunities, while some established players have missed out.
Dean Huijsen returns to the squad. Fermin López has also been included after recovering from injury.
Spain will begin their Nations League campaign against England at Wembley. The match adds another major storyline to the international break.
For Barcelona, the immediate focus remains on maintaining their strong domestic form.
Raphinha’s explosive performance provided another reminder of the attacking quality available to the Catalan club.
However, García’s injury will be monitored closely. Goalkeeping depth becomes increasingly important as the season progresses.
The coming weeks could bring significant developments for Barcelona and their Spanish internationals.
