Barcelona star could be part of captaincy group at World Cup
Barcelona star could be part of captaincy group at World Cup Barcelona star Ferran Torres is expected to be rewarded for his efforts with a place among Spain’s group of captains at this summer’s World Cup. This comes amid something of a ‘changing of the guard’ in Luis de la Fuente’s squad. With Álvaro Morata and Dani Carvajal expected to miss out on Spain’s call for the upcoming international showpiece, and Jesús Navas retired, La Roja are seeking out a third and final member for their captaincy contingent.
Set to take on the role of first captain this summer is Manchester City midfielder Rodri, with Athletic Club shot-stopper Unai Simón 2nd in command. And according to Diario Sport , the aforementioned Ferran is the current favourite to round out this leadership group. The Barcelona frontman is a favourite of Luis de la Fuente, appreciated for his versatility, commitment to the cause, and impressive strike rate on the international stage.
Across the season to date, Ferran has racked up a none-too-shabby 20 goals at club level. Conor Laird – GSFN
