Spain U21 coach David Gordo was interviewed and talked about the injury of Barcelona youngster Bernal.

About Mark Bernal's recruitment

"Mark Bernal was originally selected for the training list, but Barcelona finally submitted a medical report to us indicating that the player was unwell. Now he has recovered successfully, and we are very happy about this. I am happy because he is an important player. Although he was unable to travel with the team this time, if everything goes well, he can maintain good training and meet the standard of physical condition, and he is likely to be called up again in the next international competition window. Football always has this process: athletes sometimes suffer. In case of injury, the recovery process also takes time. "

About the medical communication process

"This situation is normal and does not make us excessively worried. We are always performing our responsibilities. The Football Association's medical team has always maintained close communication with the medical departments of each club. Based on the medical report provided by Barcelona, which clearly mentioned that the player suffered from tibial periostitis, the medical teams on both sides agreed after full communication that allowing Mark to use this time to rest and adjust is the best solution, which will greatly help him completely get rid of the problem of tibial discomfort.
