Spaniard Joel Parra, Barcelona striker, is doubtful for the important clash against Latvia this Friday (11:45 CEST), corresponding to the second phase of the 2023 World Cup, due to an overload in the left leg.
The 23-year-old didn’t train with the rest of his team-mates on Thursday and it was coach Sergio Scariolo who revealed he doesn’t know if he can count on his services.
“Yes, it’s a doubt, we’ll see tomorrow if he can finally be there, but there is a small problem. It’s not very serious, but with the very short deadlines of playing every other day, it becomes a doubt.” ” he said at the end of training on the auxiliary track at the Indonesia Arena in Jakarta.
“The problem is not very serious,” he insisted.
The Catalan striker suffers from an overload in the left leg, according to what the Spanish Basketball Federation (FEB) itself informed the Spanish media.
Spain will fight against the Latvian team, one of the revelations of the World Cup which eliminated France, for a place in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. A victory does not guarantee the pass, but it seems essential for the objective.
On Sunday (15:30 CEST), Spain will close the second group stage against Canada, one of the favorites.
