Paris Saint‑Germain midfielder Fabian Ruiz has withdrawn from the Spain squad to be present for the birth of his first child, meaning he will miss the upcoming Nations League match.
Ruiz, who was named in the squad for the game, opted to leave the national team camp in order to support his partner during the delivery. The decision came ahead of Spain’s scheduled Nations League fixture, and the player will not be available for selection.
The Nations League is a UEFA competition that pits national teams against each other in a league format, with the matches serving as qualifiers for the European Championship. Spain’s match was part of this tournament’s group stage.
There are no further details on the exact timing of the match or the circumstances surrounding Ruiz’s departure from the squad. The footballing community has taken note of the player’s personal priority over his international duties.
