Busquets injured in Spain’s draw against Switzerland (1-1)

Lack of strength punished Spain again in the UEFA Nations League. Busquets and Sergi Roberto began the Spanish side’s 1-1 draw at St. Jakob Park. Midfielder culé ended up leaving the pitch in the second half after a blow to the knee received by Embolo. His best game with La Roja hadn’t taken shape, but now the alarms are on at FC Barcelona before a possible injury.

At the beginning of the meeting, Spain is betting on high pressure and the game on the sides, even if Sergi Roberto was not very participatory. In the first quarter of an hour the Spaniards recorded several occasions but failed to hit the goal defended by Sommer, who ended up becoming the hero of Switzerland.

Before half an hour Freuler scored a real goal to punish the Spaniard’s lack of spark. After a stage and a cross from Embolo, atalanta were the first to hit the post along a shot Unai Simón was unable to stop. Sergio Ramos, who started very high, did not have time to cover the Monchengladbach player, practically only in the red area.

Alarms are activated with Busquets

In the absence of minutes until the end of the first part, Sergio Busquets received a blow from Embolo in the knee during the race for a ball. Before the midfielder culé’s discomfort, Rodri started to warm up, but Busquets remained on the pitch and they ended the first 45 minutes without news. When the match resumed, Spain saw the opportunity to draw away, especially afterwards the two penalties that Sommer, the best in the field, stopped Sergio Ramos.

The alarms started on Luis Enrique’s bench after him Busquets threw himself on the ground and asked for the change. The midfielder put a hand on his knee which was injured in the first half after Embolo’s shot and had to leave the pitch with his losing team.

Spain ended up getting a draw just before extra time. Switzerland, with ten players after Elvedi’s dismissal, saw a play from Spain with a pass from Koke to Reguilón that put them in first place for Gerard Moreno’s shot, which Sommer couldn’t stop. With the draw, Luis Enrique’s men remain in second place in group 4, with 8 points, behind Germany (9 points) who today won 3-1 against Ukraine with one game to go.
