LAPORTE AND LE NORMAND ARE NOT 100% PHYSICALLY
Laporte's physical problems call into question De la Fuente's decision with Pau Cubarsí
The selection of Spain confronts defensive problems to days to initiate the Eurocopa because of the exclusion of Pau Cubarsí. While Laporte and Him Normand are not in optimum physical conditions, de la Fuente could resort to alternatives like Rodri to cover the drops
Spain will begin the Eurocopa in Germany with worries in the saga, because of the decision of Luis de la Fuente of not including to Pau Cubarsí in the announcement. This election already feels , since the two headlines, Ayméric Laporte and Robin Him Normand, are not in his best fitness. The muscular annoyances of Laporte, that left it out of the training of the Thursday, are a reflection of this situation. Although it will travel to Berlin, the exjugador of the Manchester City will not be in conditions to play in the debut against Croatia the Saturday.
The problem aggravates by the inclusion of the central of the To the-Nassr, the one who has little competitive rhythm in the Saudi league. Tounque his annoyances are not grave, are indicativas of his fault of fitness and of the need of a suitable pre-season. Besides, his late incorporation to the concentration, complicates even more the situation. This setback has altered the up to now calm preparation of Spain in the Black Jungle.
On the other hand, Him Normand also has showed signs of not being in his best level after an injury, leaving to the seleccionador Spanish with a dilemma on who will be his companion in the saga. The options reduce to Nacho (Real Madrid), with his experience, or Dani Vivian (Athletic Club), whose speed and forcefulness in the aerial game could be keys against Croatia.
Cubarsí Could have been the solution to his problems
The absence of Cubarsí generates a greater worry, since, in spite of having only 17 years, has showed to be prepared for parties of high level. At present, the central of the Barça is on holiday, expecting the announcement of the olympic selection that initiates his trainings on 1 July. But no this of more affirm, that his inclusion could have offered greater tranquility to the Spanish defence in this continental tournament.
De la Fuente could resort to Rodri like head office, a tactical employee by Luis Enrique in the World-wide past, or consider to other players like Zubimendi or Carvajal to cover the position. However, these alternatives would not be necessary if Cubarsí had been included in the list of 26 in place to be descartado. The UEFA allows replacements 24 hours before the alone debut by physical problems bass, which is not the case at present with Laporte, what limits even more the options of the seleccionador.
