Madrid, Nov 15 (IANS): Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea will miss Spain's two international matches after dislocating the little finger on his right hand.
De Gea will have to sit out Saturday's Euro 2016 qualifying tie at home to Belarus and Tuesday's friendly match against Germany after being forced out of Spain's final training session ahead of the Belarus game, reports Xinhua.
The Manchester United goalkeeper hurt himself while stopping a shot, which put his finger out of joint, and was treated by the doctor of the national team, Oscar Celada.
De Gea has suffered the injury in the past and although everything points to him remaining with the Spain squad until after the Germany game, he will not play in either of the two matches and must be considered a doubt for Manchester United's next game in the Premier League, which sees Louis Van Gaal's side travel to face Arsenal Nov 22.
