After Busquets infection: Spain nominates players

They will train in their own so-called bubble. The players Rodrigo Moreno (Leeds United), Pablo Fornals (West Ham United), Carlos Soler (FC Valencia CF) and Brais Méndez (Celta de Vigo) have been called up to support the squad that is based in Las Rozas near Madrid The Spanish association RFEF announced on Monday that it was preparing for the European Championships. In a statement in the evening, the Spaniards confirmed that all results for the players and coaches in a series of corona tests on Monday were negative. Busquets had already left on Sunday. For precautionary reasons, the four new professionals should train “in a parallel bubble” from Tuesday. This decision was made “in anticipation of the possible consequences” that could arise from Busquets’ positive test result, it said. In plain language, this means: The subsequently nominated professionals should be ready to move into the final squad if there are further cases of infection that lead to European Championship cancellations. Personalized training After Busquets' infection was announced, La Roja's training was initially carried out in a "personalized" manner, according to the association on Monday. There were no details about the exact procedure. The 2008 and 2012 European champion and 2010 world champion will play his first European Championship game on Monday in Seville against Sweden. Poland and Slovakia also play in this Group E. It was not yet clear whether the 32-year-old Busquets would be able to take part in the European Championships. A deployment of the Barcelona club colleagues of national goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen and superstar Lionel Messi seems realistic at best in the last group game against Slovakia on June 23rd. The new captain should now be Jordi Alba.
