In Valencia consider the decision to exclude Jose Gaia from the Spanish national team premature.
The 27-year-old football player was diagnosed with a slight lateral sprain of his right ankle after a friendly game with Jordan (3:1). Spain head coach Luis Enrique has decided to drop Gaia from the 2022 World Cup squad and call up 19-year-old Alex Balde from Barcelona.
According to As, upon his return from Qatar, Gaia was examined by Valencia doctors and they concluded that, if necessary, he could play as early as Wednesday against Costa Rica. The player himself also does not experience any noticeable pain.
The club is not inclined to believe that such damage gave the right to make a replacement in the squad.
