🚨 Grimaldo out of the national team, replacement already named

Last-minute withdrawal from the Spain squad. Alejandro Grimaldo will not be able to take part in the next two UEFA Nations League matchdays due to injury.

The Atlético de Madrid wing-back has been dealing with discomfort in his left thigh since the warm-up before Tuesday’s Spain-Croatia match at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium.
