It is a contrasting evening that Spain lived this Thursday evening against the Netherlands in the quarter-final first leg of the League of Nations. While the Roja conceded the 2-2 draw, she also lost Pau Cubarsí, released on injury just before the break. The 18 -year -old defender was forced to give way to Dean Huijsen in the 41st minute after having felt ankle pain. Bad news for the European champions, which will closely follow the evolution of its state before the return match scheduled for Sunday.
At the end of the meeting, Luis de la Fuente wanted to be reassuring, while calling for prudence: ” It's his ankle, it's a sprain. We want to recover it by Sunday and we will see how it evolves. It doesn't seem too serious, but only a few days left and we have to be careful. If his absence was to extend, it would also be a blow for FC Barcelona, who will play against Osasuna on Thursday, March 27, after the initial postponement of the game.
