MADRID, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- Spain coach Luis Enrique has made a second change to the Spain squad that will face Greece and Sweden in two vital World Cup qualifying matches next week.
Barcelona defender Eric Garcia has been forced to withdraw from the squad after the club confirmed on Sunday that he suffered a calf strain in the first half of Saturday's 3-3 draw away to Celta Vigo.
Garcia will be replaced in the squad by Leeds United defender Diego Llorente.
On Saturday Luis Enrique was forced to hand a debut call-up to Espanyol striker Raul Tomas after Barca's 18-year-old forward Ansu Fati injured his hamstring in the same game and was also forced to pull out of his squad.
Barca's 19-year-old midfielder Nico Gonzalez has also withdrawn from the Spain Under-21 squad after he also suffered a muscle injury on Saturday, with the three injuries suffered in Vigo meaning that Barca currently have 11 players sidelined through injury or sickness ahead of the presentation of Xavi Hernandez as the new first team coach on Monday.
