Spain boss Luis de la Fuente offers Eric Garcia injury update after Barcelona star forced out of England win
The defender has a knee problem.
After Spain's 3-2 victory over England in the Nations League at Wembley, coach Luis de la Fuente provided an update on injured Barcelona star Eric Garcia. The Spanish team confirmed that Garcia's issue was a knee injury, though de la Fuente emphasized it did not appear serious. He stated, "He’s had a minor issue—it doesn’t look serious."
However, further tests were required to fully assess the extent of Garcia's injury. De la Fuente explained that they would only know if Garcia could recover and be available for upcoming matches once they returned to Madrid, with the condition that there be no risk to the player. If Garcia cannot play, Spain may consider bringing in another teammate.
Spain still has two more matches to play in the Nations League against Croatia and Czechia during the international break. Barcelona will also be keen to learn the outcome of Garcia's injury, as the club has important fixtures in La Liga and the Champions League scheduled for October.
