Official: Premier League star replaces Barcelona defender in Spain squad
A shake-up in the defensive ranks in the Spanish national team squad has on Monday been confirmed.
This comes after boss Luis de la Fuente was forced into an alteration, owing to developments in yesterday’s crunch clash between Barcelona and Atlético Madrid.
After Barca emerged on the right side of a remarkable 4-2 result at the Metropolitano, it was announced that Iñigo Martínez had picked up an injury.
As per a statement across the Blaugrana’s website and social media platforms:
Called up to the Spanish national team squad for the first time since all the way back in 2023, Iñigo, in turn, was left with no choice but to withdraw.
And, as alluded to above, the veteran stopper’s replacement has since been announced by the RFEF.
Drafted in in Iñigo’s place has been Dean Huijsen, in the midst of a stellar debut campaign in the Premier League with Bournemouth.
