Ansu Fati helped Spain secure their place at Euro 2024.

But the on-loan Albion man’s return to the starting XI only lasted 45 minutes.

Ansu played the opening half of the 1-0 win in Norway which sent Spain through to next summer’s tournament.

The result also secured a finals place for Billy Gilmour and Scotland.

Ansu operated wide on the left and was one of two players replaced at the interval.

Mundo Deportivo reported he looked too eager to please, which adversely affected his performance.

Diario Sport, the other major Catalan sports daily, said that Ansu, in his tenth match with the national team, did not shine as expected.

Roberto De Zerbi has high hopes for Ansu after his initial series of Albion appearances but it is likely he would ideally have liked to have had him at Lancing during the current international window.
