Official Eric García exits Spain camp as Le Normand steps in

In the warm‑up session at the Spanish National Team camp, Barcelona defender Eric García was forced to limp off after sustaining an injury, prompting the official announcement that he will return to his club and miss the remaining preparations.

He will be replaced by Robin Le Normand, the centre‑back from Atlético Madrid, who joins the Spanish National Team as a fresh option.

Le Normand has always enjoyed Luis de la Fuente’s trust, but his underwhelming performances cost him a place at the World Cup, making this call‑up a new opportunity.

The reshuffle also moves Marc Pubill to right‑back alongside Iván Fresneda, reshaping the defensive options for Spain.
