Spain boss Luis de la Fuente says he doesn\u2019t understand what the fuss is all about when players pick up injuries on interntional duty.<\/p>\n
Barcelona have seen Lamine Yamal, Gavi, Dani Olmo<\/a> and Ferran Torres<\/a> pick up problems with Spain in recent call-ups but De la Fuente says it\u2019s just part of the game.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve been at the highest level for a long time, and there are specific circumstances that force us to act responsibly. We prioritize the players\u2019 health,\u201d he told a press conference.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know why they go overboard when they come to the national team and get injured. That\u2019s just football. But it shows once again that the most important thing is the player\u2019s health.\u201d<\/p>\n Torres was the last Barca player to withdraw from the squad but has been diagnosed with an overload, not an injury, and the Spain boss agreed he needed to rest.<\/p>\n \u201dThere\u2019s no injury, but tomorrow we need everyone at 100 percent, and Ferran wasn\u2019t in the best condition. It\u2019s been decided that he\u2019ll rest,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Spain are back in action on Tuesday in World Cup qualifying, with Pedri and Pau Cubarsi likely to be involved in the game in Valladolid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spain boss Luis de la Fuente says he doesn\u2019t understand what the fuss is all about when players…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":223324,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1481,125386,403,99],"class_list":["post-223323","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-barcelona-team-news","tag-barcelona-internationals","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223323","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=223323"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223323\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/223324"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223323"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=223323"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=223323"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
