MADRID, Nov. 11 (Xinhua) -- Spain coach Robert Moreno has been forced to make another change to his squad for the Euro 2020 qualifying games against Malta and Romania after forward Adama Traore withdrew from injury.

The 23-year-old had received a surprise debut call-up into the squad late on Saturday after Valencia forward Rodrigo suffered a back injury, but Traore posted a tweet on Sunday saying that he too had to pull out of the squad.

"I can't join the national team because of injury. I thank the coach for his confidence and I will work to have the chance to return," said the forward, who played all 90 minutes of Wolverhampton Wanderers' 2-1 win at home to Aston Villa on Sunday.

Moreno reacted to the news by calling Paris Saint Germain's former Sevilla midfielder Pablo Sarabia into his squad for the forthcoming matches. Enditem
