Pending an MRI scan, Ayoze likely to miss Swizterland clash

Ayoze Perez was the negative news in the training session of the Spanish national team at the Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez stadium, which he could not finish as he felt some muscular discomfort that keeps him away from the most special match in the return to his homeland, pending official confirmation in the tests that he will undergo on Monday morning.

The festive atmosphere with the return of the Spanish national team to Santa Cruz de Tenerife 28 years after their last match on the island, with 8,500 tickets sold by the Federation to fans to help those affected by the floods, who did not stop encouraging the players during the training session, was marred by the accident suffered by Ayoze.

After the warm-up and the rondos, in which he felt a muscular problem, at the moment of starting the games in reduced spaces and the finishing actions, the Tenerife striker of Villarreal communicated his discomfort to the coach Luis de la Fuente, who approved his immediate withdrawal from the training session.

The first medical examination points to a muscular injury in the quadriceps, but the exact extent of the injury will not be known until Monday morning, when the doctors of the Spanish national team will subject Ayoze to an MRI scan. With Spain already through to the quarter-finals of the Nations League and top of Group 4, De la Fuente will not force a player who shone in last Friday's win in Denmark, scoring and assisting.
