Gayà joins La Roja's 'FIFA virus' blacklist

José Luis Gayà was injured in the match against Alavés. In the 93rd minute, Pedreguer's side felt a puncture in the back of his left thigh and directly requested the change. The player will undergo medical tests in the next few hours, although he will hardly arrive in time for next Saturday's game against Atlético de Madrid.

Gayà was the last victim of the FIFA Virus among the internationals of the Spanish National Team. The winger joined injured teammates such as Canales, Busquets, Sergio Ramos and Sergi Roberto. Gayà, who precisely during the concentration with the national team suffered a mishap for which he had to receive eight stitches, suffered a muscle injury against Alavés, something that has accompanied him regularly in recent years.

“Let's hope it's mild, because José Luis (Gayà) is very important to us,” said Manu Vallejo at the conclusion of the meeting on Movistar's microphones. 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.

Javi Gracia also regretted the injury to his captain and recalled the number of internationals who have been injured. “For us he is a very important player and we will see the extent of the injury. 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 ”.
