Gonzalo Garcia to train with Spain
According to Madrid Universal, the youngster will train with the senior squad before the tournament begins, but will not travel to the competition itself.
His inclusion is still viewed as a strong sign of the faith Spain’s coaching staff has in his potential.
Gonzalo will join a support group featuring several emerging talents from across La Liga. The selected players will assist during training sessions ahead of Spain’s opening World Cup match against Iraq on June 4.
Importantly, the support squad members are not part of Spain’s official preliminary World Cup list, meaning they cannot be added to the tournament squad later, even in the event of injuries.
