Ansu Fati not called up for Spain international duty due to injury

Robert Moreno came out this week and made it clear why Barcelona’s Ansu Fati wasn’t called up to the Spanish national team. Spain’s manager said that the newly-pledged Fati wasn’t called up due to injury.

“He was in the preliminary squad, as were others. Everything that he’s doing is exceptional. I want to help him become [a great player]. He was injured, which is the most important [reason why he wasn’t called up]. For the sake of everyone, it’s best to try to be honest so that he keeps growing. Our criteria is varied.
