Midfielder Marc Casad\u00f3 and central defender I\u00f1igo Mart\u00ednez are out of Spain’s Nations League quarter-final because of injury, the national soccer federation said Monday.
\nDefending champion Spain visits the Netherlands on Thursday and hosts them on Sunday in the return match.
\nCasad\u00f3 hurt his right knee in the second half of Barcelona\u2019s 4-2 win at Atletico Madrid in the Spanish league on Sunday. National team coach Luis de la Fuente has replaced him with Bayer Leverkusen’s Aleix Garc\u00eda.
\nBarcelona teammate Mart\u00ednez also has a right knee problem, though the defender finished the match against Atletico. He has been replaced for the Nations League matches by Bournemouth\u2019s Dean Huijsen, a member of Spain\u2019s under-21 squad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
