Is Gavi injured as well? Spain boss Luis de la Fuente offers update on Barcelona midfielder

Spain boss Luis de la Fuente has calmed fears that Gavi has become the latest Barcelona player to be sidelined with injury.

Gavi took a knock in training earlier this week which led to claims he could be set to join Barcelona’s growing injury list.

De la Fuente was asked about injuries in his squad on Wednesday and had some reassuring words regarding the fitness of his players.

“The players are all available. There is some discomfort and we are going to wait and see how it develops,” he said.

”We expect a very tough match, they are a very powerful rival who we respect a lot.
