The positive of Busquets will notably alter the day to day of the Spanish team when there are eight left for them to face Sweden in the debut of the Eurocup . As explained by the RFEF , the Federation’s medical services have adopted all the necessary measures in a case of these characteristics in accordance with the protocols established by both the Ministry of Health and UEFA , so that the footballer has abandoned the concentration in a medicalized vehicle heading to Barcelona and will have to serve 10 days of quarantine, so it is ruled out for the first match of the tournament.
Meanwhile, both the workers and the close contacts of the player will remain isolated for prevention in the concentration of the national team and personalized training routines will be activated, maintaining the isolation, to continue with the preparation of the European Championship.
Luis Enrique will have to decide if he waits for Busquets, if he replaces him with another player or, as it seems more logical, calls another footballer and still has the captain of Spain , since the coach summoned 24 players for the Eurocup, for which can still name two more footballers to complete the 26 allowed by UEFA. If the coach looks to the Under-21 to reinforce Spain, the players with a profile similar to that of the Catalan are Zubimendi and Antonio Blanco.
The UEFA regulations in the case of serious injuries or in the event of coronavirus cases are very clear. When this happens with an outfield player, as has happened with Busquets, the national teams will be able to replace the player up to 48 hours before the premiere in Europe. In the case of Spain, this means that Luis Enrique has until next Saturday the 12th at 9:00 p.m. to decide if he wants to replace the loss of Barça.
The loss of Busquets, either momentary or definitive, is especially relevant for Spain, since without Sergio Ramos, the Barcelona midfielder is the captain of the national team. After the midfielder, the most veteran are Jordi Alba and Koke.
