Barcelona star ruled out of Spain clash through injury
A member of the attacking ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona has been ruled out of his country’s next outing on the international front.
The player in question? Ferran Torres.
Frontman Ferran is for his part fresh off another stellar outing this past weekend.
Introduced off the bench with Barcelona in desperate search of goals in a La Liga meeting with Atlético Madrid, the former Manchester City man provided precisely that.
En route to a comeback 4-2 triumph for the Blaugrana, Ferran notched a fine brace.
The 25-year-old was therefore expected to feature in at least some capacity, when Spain lock horns with The Netherlands in the Nations League later this evening.
As much, however, will not be the case.
Speaking to the media in his pre-match press conference, La Roja boss Luis de la Fuente confirmed that Ferran has been ruled out on Thursday, owing to a fitness issue.
The hope is that the versatile attacker will be back fit and firing in time to feature in the return leg on Sunday.
