Spain coach Luis de la Fuente, called up 17-year-old Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsi to replace the injured Pau Torres for the upcoming Nations League matches against Denmark and Switzerland.
Aston Villa centre-back Torres reported to Spain’s Las Rozas training base with “muscular discomfort,” as stated by the Spanish Football Federation.
Cubarsi, who has quickly become a key player for La Liga leaders Barcelona, has earned just four caps for Spain and was not part of the squad that won Euro 2024.
Spain, already secured in the Nations League’s last eight, will face Denmark in Copenhagen on Friday before hosting Switzerland on Monday.
