Barcelona defender Pau Curbasi has pulled out of the Spanish national team after sustaining an injury during Spain’s 2-2 draw with Netherlands in the first leg of the UEFA Nations League Quarterfinals on Thursday.
The 18-year-old who was unable to complete the game was substituted in the 41st minute of the game and is now expected to be unavailable for the second leg of the tie.
The in-form teenage defender sprained his ankle from the game and is now expected to travel back to Barcelona.
The Spanish FA announced in a statement today: “After the tests carried out by the Royal Spanish Football Federation medical team, it has been decided that the player will return to his club Barcelona, to begin his recovery from the discomfort he has in his right ankle.”
Pau Curbasi has been fantastic for Barcelona this season so far. Barcelona fans remain hopeful that he will be fit and available for action as soon as possible.
