. Central Iñigo Martínez and midfielder Marc Casadó ended up with discomfort on their knees after the match, and this Monday they have been subjected to medical tests with Barça, with a worse prognosis for the young midfielder. The Basque Central suffers an “internal parameniscitis in its right knee” for which it could be between two and three weeks, as reported by the Royal Spanish Football Federation after the report received from Barcelona. Casadó, on the other hand, suffers a breakage of the external ligament of the right knee, and could be outside the pitch for more than two months, pending more evidence to know the reach of the injury, as Barça has reported. Both players had been summoned to prepare the quarterfinals of the Nations League against the Netherlands, so the young central of the Bournemouth Dean Huijsen and the Bayer Leverkusen Aleix García midfielder will join the Red, as the Federation said Monday. In addition, in the afternoon a new decline communicated: that of Bryan Zaragoza. Although there will be no substitute for the Osasuna player.
The 33 -year -old Basque Central, in addition, precisely in that meeting against Georgia in which Gavi was injured. With Barcelona this year he had erected as one of the headlines in a duo of youth and veteran with Pau Cubarsí, playing a total of 34 games and accumulating 2,898 minutes. Against Atlético completed the entire game. De la Fuente has gone to the Sub-21 of Santi Denia and has called Dean Huijsen, a native of Amsterdam, but nationalized a year ago with Spain.
Casadó, on the other hand, came out in the starting eleven after the absence of gastroenteritis of Frenkie de Jong. He suffered a blow in full dispute with Antoine Griezmann, but continued playing, apparently normally, until the 67th minute when it was replaced by Eric García. The Culé quarry midfielder was completing the season with Barcelona with great performance, completing 36 games and 2,446 minutes, alternating his position with Jong Frenkie. Since the return of a good level of the Dutchman, Casadó has been losing prominence. In the selection the substitute chosen by De la Fuente will be Aleix García, former of Girona.
The knees continue to punish the Barca club. After Marc André Ter Stegen and Marc Bernal, it is now Casadó who has suffered them, and Iñigo Martínez also, although to a lesser extent. And they also punish, consequently, to the national team, which will be measured to the Netherlands the next 20th days at the Rotterdam Kuip stadium, and 23 in Mestalla.
