De La Fuente: We will evaluate Huizen’s physical condition before deciding whether to play him in the next game

After the Spanish team defeated Georgia 4-0 in the away game, coach De La Fuente talked about the latest situation of the team's defense. Among them, Real Madrid center back Huizen was temporarily withdrawn before the game due to slight discomfort, but he was not completely excluded from the next game.

De la Fuente said that Huizen's absence from this game was due to the decision to protect the players: "He is only slightly unwell. The team doctor has examined him and is in communication with Real Madrid. Out of the protection of the players, we decided to let him rest. We will look at his situation tomorrow and evaluate whether he has the possibility to play in the next game."

After the previous "Yamal playing controversy", the Spanish Football Federation was forced to cancel his call-up to the current national team. Talking about related topics, de la Fuente once again emphasized the team's principle of player fitness: "Our attitude has always been to protect the players. This is always the first priority, we have always done this, and it will be the same this time."

After defeating Georgia, Spain has basically locked in the World Cup main draw, and unless extreme circumstances occur, it will fall into the play-offs. The team is currently in good morale and is ready to complete the final promotion task in the game against Turkey.
