"Marc is one of our own, but he's not in a comfortable situation right now. He's getting very little playing time. And we've brought the squad we think will best help us get six crucial points for our league position,"
"He's not on the list, and it's not something that worries me. I'm more concerned about other absences that I would have liked to see included. Some are due to injury, and others due to limited playing time. Here, we aim to have all the players available and willing to help us qualify for the European Championship."
David Gordo omitted Marc Bernal from the latest Spain Under-21 squad, citing Bernal's minimal club playing time and uncomfortable situation. Bernal had been called to the previous squad but did not feature after being dropped. Gordo prioritized a squad aimed at securing six crucial points to improve league position and stressed concerns about other absences caused by injury or limited minutes. Bernal has made just four substitute appearances for Barcelona this season while the club slowly reintegrates him after a long spell out. Barcelona hopes to increase his minutes and give him a more important role from January.
