Overview

• After reporting discomfort following Spain’s match against Georgia in Elche, Ferran Torres underwent tests that showed a muscle overload with no structural injury, according to the RFEF.
• He has been ruled out of Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier against Bulgaria in Valladolid, and reports indicate no replacement is expected to be called up.
• The RFEF said Barcelona’s medical staff have been fully informed, and the player has returned to his club for monitoring.
• Barcelona are already managing absences, with Dani Olmo diagnosed with a left soleus tear and an estimated three to four weeks out, which could exclude him from the October 26 Clásico, and Lamine Yamal had previously returned injured.
• Spain’s camp has seen other muscle issues, with Real Madrid defender Dean Huijsen sent home for fatigue and Aymeric Laporte drafted in, reflecting the strain of a congested schedule.
