Gayà returned from Vitoria with the rest of the expedition and Throughout the day on Monday, medical tests will be carried out to know the exact extent of the injury and its recovery time.

He is not the first international player to be injured… Ramos, Sergi Roberto, Jesús (Navas)… We are seeing many injuries and I think we will see more ”.
