Reprieve for Mali as Adama Traore withdraws from Spain squad

Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traore’s chances of representing Mali at international level could still be open after he withdrew from Spain's squad due to injury.

Traore was injured on Sunday during Wolves’ 2-1 win over Aston Villa and will not honour his maiden call-up to the Spain senior team.

Spain had called the 23-year-old as a replacement for injured Valencia forward Rodrigo ahead of the upcoming 2020 European Championship qualifiers against Malta and Romania.

Since he is not going to be capped by La Roja in this Fifa international period, the slim chance of Traore playing for Mali is still open.
