Bad news for Barça and the Spanish U21 national team. Yesterday's victory against Slovakia left a heavy toll for Santi Denia's team in the form of an injury: Gerard Martín ended up with problems in his hand and today the worst forecasts have been confirmed.

The news was advanced by Jijantes on Thursday morning and later confirmed by the RFEF. The player has a dislocation of the fifth metacarpal of his right hand and will travel to Barcelona to undergo surgery. This means that he will leave the national team's concentration in Slovakia.

In the statement released to the media, the RFEF highlighted that "the medical services of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, always in contact with the counterparts of the player's club of origin, FC Barcelona, have confirmed, after conducting the relevant tests, the injury of the defender".

The player suffered the physical setback in the early stages of the match. After the break, he had to be substituted by Hugo Bueno. The Feyenoord player is now the only pure left-back left to the Spanish national team in the European Championship.
