Alejandro Grimaldo has left the Spain camp after suffering an injury during warm-ups before the match against Croatia, prompting the coaching staff to call up Fran García as his replacement during the current international break.
According to "Mundo Deportivo", Grimaldo, Atlético Madrid's left-back, felt a twinge in his left thigh during warm-up ahead of Spain's match against Croatia at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium, before undergoing medical tests to assess his condition.
After the test results emerged, the medical staff of the Spain national team decided to exclude the player from the camp as a precaution, aiming to avoid any additional risks and to ensure his safety.
Fran García, aged 27, has joined Luis de la Fuente's squad in preparation for Spain's remaining matches during the UEFA Nations League, as the Spanish national team faces their Czech counterparts next Saturday in Oviedo.
Spain return to training on Thursday in the Football City in Las Rozas, with Fran García present, to begin preparations for their match against the Czech Republic.
