Spain boss Luis de la Fuente offer fitness update on Gavi, says he’s ‘delighted’ with Barcelona midfielder

Spain boss Luis de la Fuente has offered an update on Gavi ahead of the team’s next Euro qualifier against Norway.

There have been a few concerns over Gavi’s fitness, although he did play all 90 minutes in the 2-0 win over Scotland.

De la Fuente says he picked up a minor knock but only missed training as they were being careful with him. He also went on to hurl some praise at the Barca youngster.

“He had a knock, he left training as a precaution. I have read in some media he gets a lot of yellow cards, with us they have only given him one,” he told reporters.
