Iván Fresneda has been called up again to Spain's Under-21 National Team. The Sporting right-back is injured after suffering an ankle sprain, but he was still called up for the upcoming matches of the 'rojita', adding to Rui Borges' list of absentees during the FIFA International Break.

Iván Fresneda had already been called up in the last selection and has once again earned the trust of the Spanish national coach. The player is recovering, however, from an ankle sprain, and the shared information is that he will be reassessed upon arrival at the training camp of Spain's Under-21 National Team.

In addition to the Spanish right-back, Rui Borges has learned of three more absentees during the international break. Luís Freire called up Geovany Quenda, João Simões, and João Muniz for the Under-21 National Team, something that has also become a recent habit.

Considering that Roberto Martínez also called up Rui Silva, Gonçalo Inácio, Pedro Gonçalves, and Francisco Trincão for the Senior National Team, Rui Borges learned this Friday of eight more absentees for the period when Sporting will not have matches, but which will be important for player recovery and tactical adjustments.

Joining these eight players, Sporting has other absentees: Morten Hjulmand, for Denmark, Kochorashvili, for Georgia, and Vagiannidis and Ioannidis, for the Greek National Team, are other confirmed absentees for the next round of international commitments.
