Football: Trio Leave Spain Squad, Barrios Gets Call-up For Nations League Clash With Swiss
The Spanish Football Federation: Real Sociedad pair Mikel Oyarzabal and Martin Zubimendi, along with Villarreal winger Alex Baena, have left the Spain squad following Friday night's 2-1 win in Denmark in the Nations League. The trio will not travel to Tenerife for Monday's match against Switzerland, which has now lost significance as Spain have secured their place in the knockout stage of the UEFA Nations League, while Switzerland have no chance of finishing second.
Zubimendi and Baena both experienced physical issues during the second half of Friday's game and had to be substituted, with Zubimendi suffering a groin injury and Baena injuring his ankle. The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) explained, "With the next game so close, it has been decided to release both players to avoid any risks."
Oyarzabal, who scored Spain's opening goal in the game, also received a yellow card and is suspended for Monday's match. The RFEF has allowed him to return to his club, which is set to play a rescheduled Copa del Rey tie against fifth-tier side Jove Espanyol on Thursday night, reports Xinhua.
