Spain coach, Vicente del Bosque, has accepted Cesc Fàbregas's explanation that he is suffering discomfort in his hamstring despite MRI scans taken by the national federation's medical staff having apparently failed to identify a serious injury, reports The Guardian. The 27-year-old was checked by the Spanish Federation in Madrid earlier this week and has since returned to Chelsea for treatment.
"We had to wait a few days to evaluate Cesc's injury and we opted for him not to continue with us," Del Bosque told the Spanish radio station Onda Cero.
"At times we have been flexible but not in this case. His muscle seems all right but he complains and he is the best doctor. I prefer not to be deceived but I cannot be distrustful. When a player of his calibre tells you that he is injured, you have to believe him."
