Ferran Torres and Yeremy Pino, strikers for Barcelona and Villarreal, respectively, have been called up by the Spanish coach Luis de la Fuente, due to the injuries suffered in the match against Georgia by Dani Olmo and Marco Asensio.
Both players had to retire at the same time in the 44th minute of the match played in Tbilisi, qualifying for Euro 2024, in which Spain won 1-7, and were replaced by Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal.
In view of the fact that "his presence against Cyprus is not viable after the pertinent medical checks", according to the RFEF, De la Fuente has decided to call both players. Dani Olmo suffers a knee problem and the tests that will be carried out at his club in the next few hours will determine the exact extent of his injury, while Asensio suffers a severe blow to his foot.
The Foios winger had not received a call from the Spanish team since the last World Cup in Qatar, since Luis de la Fuente has not counted on him since he took command of the national team. Yeremi Pino, on the other hand, was present in the last window, that of the Nations League. Both will travel together from Valencia to Madrid.
Ferran Torres thus regains the prominence he lost throughout the last year. His brilliant start to the season with Barça, with which he has scored two goals in three games and 63 minutes played, has helped him return to the 'red'.
Ferran Torres has played 35 games for the Spanish team, in which he has scored 15 goals: six in the Nations League, four in World Cup qualifiers, two in the World Cup, two in the Euro Cup and one in friendlies.
