MADRID, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- Girona winger Bryan Gil has been forced to withdraw from the Spanish national team squad less than 24 hours after being called up by coach Luis de la Fuente to cover for injured Barcelona forward Ferran Torres.

Gil, who is spending the season on loan at Girona from Tottenham Hotspurs, received his first call into the national team in three years after Torres suffered a hamstring injury playing away to Alaves on Sunday, but on Monday lunchtime the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) confirmed on social media that "Bryan Gil is out of the training camp due to physical problems, with this agreed by the medical staff of the National Team and Girona."

De la Fuente has also called Osasuna winger, Bryan Zaragoza into the squad for UEFA Nations League matches against Denmark and Serbia, due to doubts over the fitness of Athletic Club Bilbao winger, Nico Williams, who was unable to play on the weekend due to a back problem.
