Former Liverpool's Bajcetic replaces Carmona in Spain U21 squad

RB Salzburg player Stefan Bajcetic has been called up by U21 national team coach Santi Denia to replace Sevilla defender Jose Angel Carmona in the squad for the friendlies against England and Denmark.
According to the Spanish Federation, Carmona, who played in Saturday's defeat at Butarque against Leganes, although he was replaced after 88 minutes by Juanlu, is out due to physical problems.
Bajcetic, whose father is Serbian and who could have the option of playing for the Balkan country, takes his place after Santi Denia stated that he was counting on him and that, in the following call-ups, it was very likely that he would be there. "He is getting playing time at his club, but it is true that there are scenarios that we can't control due to various situations that he has with his club and with the loan. But we are counting on him and we like him a lot," he said.
Spain, who have qualified for the next European Championships 2025, will play two friendly matches against England in La Linea de la Concepcion (Cadiz) on Friday at 18.30 and against Denmark at the Carlos Belmonte stadium in Albacete on Tuesday 19 at 19.00.
