A knee issue for Eric Garcia

According to Maxifoot, Eric Garcia, aged 25 and with 22 caps, felt discomfort in his left knee on Saturday, during the pre-match preparation of the Nations League match against England, won 3-2 by Spain. This pain led the staff to replace him in the list of called-up players.
