Spain does U-turn on calling up Barcelona’s Pau Cubarsí for U21 team

The Spanish federation had reportedly considered including him in Santi Denia’s list, in part due to injuries and fixture congestion with the expanded FIFA Club World Cup affecting other options.
In the end, Cubarsí has been given a break instead as he has completed a very demanding season which came after participating in tune-up for UEFA Euro 2024 (he was ultimately left off the final list) and winning the Gold Medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics.
