Pau Cubarsí, who was included at the last minute in the national team squad due to Pau Torres’ injury, will finally not play in this Friday’s game against Denmark in the Nations League. The Barça center back is one of the two discarded by coach Luis de la Fuente along with Bryan Zaragoza and Bryan Gil.
In addition to suffering a grotesque wound on his face from the game against Red Star, a cut with up to ten stitches that forces him to wear a protective mask, the Catalan defender arrived in Las Rozas unwell, with vomiting and dizziness that probably influenced in his definitive absence in Copenhagen.

Cubarsí, however, could be available for the next match with the national team next Monday in Tenerife against Switzerland, a match that could be inconsequential for Spain because one point against the Danes is enough to seal first place in the group. The team already made it to the quarterfinals in the previous window of international matches.
The Blaugrana defender, only 17 years old, played his first official match with the Spanish team on October 15, playing four minutes against Serbia, and had previously played three friendly matches. The Girona native, the undisputed starter for Barça, made his debut for Spain on March 22 in the match against Colombia.
For his part, Bryan Gil, who was called up by the coach to replace the injured Lamine Yamal, will not be able to play his fifth game with the national team as he returns to a call-up to the national team after three years of absence. The Girona player will rest against Denmark just like Bryan Zaragoza, from Osasuna, who played two games for Spain.
