MADRID, Nov 11, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Wolves winger Adama Traore was forced to
withdraw from the Spain squad with injury on Sunday just one day after
receiving his maiden international call-up.
He was drafted in as a replacement for the injured Rodrigo on Saturday,
but pulled out after Wolves’ 2-1 derby win over Aston Villa. The 23-year-old
has now been replaced in the squad for the Euro 2020 qualifiers against Malta
on November 15 and Romania three days later by Paris Saint-Germain’s Pablo
Sarabia.
“Unfortunately, I won’t be able to answer the call of the squad because of
an injury suffered during the match against Aston Villa on Sunday,” said
Traore.
“I’m sorry I can’t be part of this list, but will continue to work to be
in the best shape possible for future squads.”
Traore’s call-up was a surprise, as he had reportedly closed the door on
Spain earlier this week to play for Mali, despite representing the Spanish
under-21 side earlier this year.
