Luis de la Fuente has been talking about his latest Spain squad after calling up Marc Casado but opting to leave Pau Cubarsi at home.
Casado is one of four Barca players in the squad, while Cubarsi has missed out after sustaining a facial injury in midweek in the Champions League. De la Fuente says he didn’t want to take any risks with the teenager.
“He had a significant wound, with nine stitches and very deep,” he told reporters.
“We always take care of our players. Pau has to have a few days until the wound heals.
