Injury strikes Erik Garcia and rules him out of starting lineup against England

Spain have received another blow just minutes before their match against England, as Erik Garcia has been confirmed to miss the game taking place at Wembley Stadium, as part of the UEFA Nations League.


The Spanish Football Federation announced that FC Barcelona defender Pedro Porro felt pain in his left knee during warm-ups, preventing him from starting against England. This forced Luis de la Fuente to make an emergency adjustment to his lineup before the match began.


Eric Garcia was initially included in the starting lineup chosen by De La Fuente for the match, but a sudden injury led to his exclusion, with Marc Pubill taking his place in the starting XI against England.


García's absence comes at a time when he had the opportunity to play at right-back, with Marcos Llorente missing and having retired from international duty, alongside Pedro Porro's absence.


Luis de la Fuente finds himself facing a new crisis at right-back after having to make a late adjustment to Spain's lineup ahead of the clash with England.
