Major blow! Spain star suffers injury against England
Spain have been hit by an injury concern in their high-stakes clash with England. Defender Marc Pubill picked up an injury and was forced off early during their UEFA Nations League matchday six fixture in League A.
The match is being played in Madrid at Atlético's home ground, so the incident is sure to have caused particular concern among the capital club's fans. Pubill represents Diego Simeone's side and is one of the options in Spain's defence.
Pedro Porro came on to replace the injured defender. No details have yet been given about Pubill's injury or his expected recovery time. It is also unclear how serious the injury may be.
A potential absence would be unwelcome news for Atlético ahead of the rest of the season. The Madrid club must now wait for the results of medical tests to establish the nature of the injury and when the defender could return.
