Mali calls Adama, who is on Luis Enrique's pre-list

The Mali Federation is pressing for Adama Traoré to play with his national team with the aim of putting the player in a hurry to justify his presence with Spain, with which he was already the last month. Adama Traoré is in Luis Enrique's pre-list, who this Friday could confirm him for the friendly against Portugal and the matches against Switzerland and Ukraine. In the Spanish Federation they believe that Mali's maneuver is to justify Adama's presence with Spain.

The player himself has always thought about the National Team. In addition to playing with all the lower categories, Adama has attended two calls with Spain and has not been able to debut due to different problems. On the first occasion, a muscle injury prevented him. In the most recent, in the last meetings against Germany and Ukraine, the coronavirus. The player tested positive in England, abandoned the concentration, returned to try to play and ended up leaving again as he did not have a “totally negative” result in the last PCR. UEFA's protocol recommends not going if this is not the case and the RFEF and the confederation itself agreed that the best solution was to free the player, who left annoyed for not being able to debut.

With their first caps still pending, the Malian Federation tries to pressure and compromise the English team's player, who is still eligible for the African team but who wants to play for Spain internationally. As this newspaper learned, This is a usual 'modus operandi' in the Malian Federation that they are also carrying out with Abdoulaye Doucouré (27 years old), from Everton, who played in all the lower categories with France and that he has not yet debuted with the absolute. The one with the toffee set has also been included in this list advanced by GOAL.

The winger left FC Barcelona and is developing his career in English football. After passing through the Boro, Adama Traoré has stood out as an attacker in Nuno Espirito Santo's Wolverhampton, thus earning his call for the Spanish National Team. Last season he scored six goals and gave twelve assists being a fixture in the eleven playing up to 54 games. This season he has started every game for the Molineux team, even playing as a full-back and has not yet been able to score his first goal.
