Bryan Zaragoza leaves Spain's training camp due to injury

Bryan Zaragoza has become, due to a muscular problem, the third player to miss the squad called up by Luis de la Fuente for the quarter-final of the Nations League against the Netherlands, after Inigo Martinez and Marc Casado, whose places were covered by Dean Huijsen and Aleix Garcia.

The medical tests to which Bryan Zaragoza, who was substituted on Sunday with muscle discomfort in the match between Osasuna and Getafe at El Sadar, confirmed that he suffers from a problem in his right thigh.

Bryan rushed his options by travelling to Madrid in the hope that the medical tests would be positive and he could stay with the rest of the internationals. According to the medical report, the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) “has decided that the player returns to his club to begin his recovery”.

Spain coach Luis de la Fuente, after covering the first two absences, has opted to reduce the call-up by one player and not to call anyone in place of Zaragoza. 

The large presence of attackers with players who can play on the wings as Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, Yeremy Pino, Dani Olmo, Ayoze Perez, Ferran Torres and Mikel Oyarzabal, plus the pure centre-forwards Alvaro Morata and Samu Omorodion, make the coach feel that the offensive line is covered.

Thus, there will be 26 players to prepare for the double-header against the Netherlands on March 20th, with the first leg in Rotterdam, and the second leg three days later, on March 23rd, in Valencia.
