Fran García, la sorpresa de Luis de la Fuente que rompe una ‘maldición’ geográfica en la Selección desde Iniesta

Fran García has been called up to the Spanish national team by coach Luis de la Fuente. This selection marks his return to the squad after a three-year absence and is notable for ending a long-standing geographic trend in player representation that had persisted since the era of Andrés Iniesta.

Within the squad, García is expected to compete for playing time with Marc Cucurella, the player who previously displaced him at Real Madrid. While Cucurella is currently positioned as the primary choice, García's inclusion comes amidst considerations regarding the high volume of minutes played by the current starters.
