coach Luis de la Fuente is already dealing with a serious injury crisis following La Roja's victory at Euro 2024, with Rodri Hernandez and Dani Carvajal out for the rest of the year with anterior cruciate ligament problems. On Monday, tests confirmed one which means he too will miss La Roja.
The 17-year-old is expected to be out for two to three weeks and Spain have confirmed this for Girona will replace the Barcelona starlet. Gil is on loan from Tottenham Hotspur and is looking to earn his fifth and sixth caps against Denmark and Switzerland.
