Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsi was replaced at half-time of Spain’s 3-2 Nations League defeat to England in Madrid on Sunday night.
According to Diario Sport, the substitution was because the Barcelona defender suffered a hip injury and the decision was taken not to risk the Barcelona teenager in the second half.
Cubarsi will now undergo tests to determine the severity of the problem and Barcelona will be hoping the center-back is not set for any time on the sidelines.
Hansi Flick has already seen defenders
Eric Garcia, Andreas Christensen, Jules Kounde and Xavi Espart pick up injuries this season.
Garcia and Christensen returned just before the international break, while it’s hoped Kounde could be available for Barcelona’s next match against Villarreal.
As for Cubarsi, he is now due to return to Barcelona along with his international team-mates Pedri, Fermin Lopez, and Lamine Yamal who all featured in the defeat to England.
