🇪🇸 Official: Iván Fresneda replaces injured Pedro Porro for Spain | OneFootball

Iván Fresneda has been called up by Luis de la Fuente to play in the Nations League and replace Pedro Porro at right-back.

Pedro Porro suffered muscle discomfort in his last match with Tottenham, which prevented him from joining the national team squad. The injury to the Extremaduran full-back forced the Spanish national team to reshape its plans on the right flank.

To cover his absence, Luis de la Fuente decided to call up Iván Fresneda as a direct replacement in defense. The young Madrid-born defender has therefore received his first senior national team call-up ahead of the upcoming international fixtures.

His strong performances and consistency at Sporting CP have earned him the chance to take the definitive step up. He stands out for his great physical presence, defensive solidity, and ability to join the attack intelligently.

This opportunity marks a huge step forward in the full-back’s career on the international stage. His arrival brings dynamism and youthful competition to a key position in La Roja’s setup.
