Following comprehensive evaluations by the Spanish Federation’s medical team, the decision was made to release the winger – who has scored 7 goals in 38 international caps for his country – from the national team camp so he can focus on his rehabilitation.

The Athletic Club star becomes the third player forced to withdraw from the squad, joining defender Eric Garcia, who suffered a left knee issue, and Alejandro Grimaldo, who was sidelined with muscle problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
