David De Gea will not be available for Luis Enrique Martinez ahead of the round of 16 duel of the Eurocup this Monday (6:00 p.m.) before Croatia. The reason is that, according to the Real spanish soccer federation, the goalkeeper suffered an injury during the training session this Sunday, already held in Copenhagen, where the match will be played.
“From Gea he suffered during today's training a discomfort in the left gluteal area without a pulling sensation. Clinically, it appears to be a mild injury to the hip rotator muscles. An MRI will be performed in the next few hours, “said the full statement.
It should be noted, however, that David De Gea he is not being the starting goalkeeper of Spain in this Eurocup, since that privilege is being enjoyed by his partner Unai Simon, who has conceded only 1 goal (against Poland) during the group stage.
It so happens that From Gea does not play a game with the Selection since October 13, 2020, when the Red fell before Ukraine by 1-0.
