Eric García leaves Spain squad due to knee injury
Spain defender Eric García has been withdrawn from the national team due to left knee discomfort. The Barcelona player first felt the issue during warm-ups prior to Spain's Nations League match against England at Wembley.
Following medical examinations upon his return to Spain, the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) decided to release him from the squad to avoid further risk and preserve his health. While specific details regarding the severity of the injury have not been disclosed, the decision aims to prevent the condition from worsening before upcoming international fixtures.
Robin Le Normand of Atlético Madrid has been called up to replace García for Spain's remaining Nations League commitments. García will return to Barcelona to undergo treatment and prepare for club duties.
