The Spain national football team is preparing for its upcoming match against Georgia in the World Cup 2026 qualifiers, but it has suffered a significant setback. Dean Huijsen, a player from Real Madrid, has been ruled out of the match after experiencing a muscle strain during training. This setback adds to the existing concerns about injuries in the team, especially following the case of Lamine Yamal and his relationship with FC Barcelona.
Luis de la Fuente, the national team's coach, confirmed that Huijsen will not be able to participate in the match in Tbilisi, which presents an additional challenge for a team that is already qualified for the World Cup. Medical tests will be conducted upon his return to Madrid to determine the severity of his injury. Additionally, other players such as De Frutos and Samu have also been ruled out for this important match.
Coach De la Fuente remained optimistic about the team's situation and emphasized the importance of focusing on the present and the performance of the available players. Despite the injuries, the goal remains to secure a victory that would almost seal the qualification. De la Fuente also expressed his hope that the injured players recover soon, as the schedule is demanding and injuries are part of the game.
With Huijsen's absence, Borja Iglesias may have the opportunity to start, adding a new element to the team's lineup. The Spain national football team hopes to overcome these obstacles and continue its path toward the World Cup 2026 with confidence and determination.
