Ferran Torres ‘needs more confidence’ to reach his top level - Spain boss Luis de la Fuente

Spain boss Luis de la Fuente has spoken about Ferran Torres after calling up the Barcelona forward into his squad after injuries to Dani Olmo and Marco Asensio.

Torres missed out on the initial call, despite a bright start to the season, but has now been handed a second chance and will hope to play for Spain against Cyprus on Tuesday.

De la Fuente says that he knows Torres well and feels he needs a confidence boost if he is to recover his best form.

“I’ve known Ferran Torres for many years, I’ve seen his evolution and maturity as a footballer,” he told reporters.
