Paris Saint-Germain’s attacker Ferran Torres was withdrawn from Spain’s squad after he suffered a left ankle injury, confirmed Royal Spanish Football Federation.

The RFEF said that the 26-year-old World Cup 2026 winner had experienced discomfort in his left ankle for several days and was thereby allowed to leave the camp in a move to “prioritise his recovery”.
