Handles heavy Spain workload
Cubarsi started and completed three of Spain's four Nations League matches during the international break, totaling 270 minutes while being rested against the Czech Republic.
Analysis: Cubarsi handled a significant workload for Spain, completing the matches against England and Croatia before returning for another 90 minutes in the second meeting with Croatia. His complete rest against the Czech Republic helped manage that workload, and he returns to Barcelona without any reported physical concerns. The center-back has started five of seven La Liga matches this season and remains an important part of manager Hansi Flick's defensive rotation, though his international minutes could create some rotation risk against Getafe on Saturday.
Likely rested Saturday
Cubarsi was not included in the squad for Saturday's clash against Czechia, likely for resting reasons, according to Alfredo Martinez of Onda Cero Radio
Analysis: Cubarsi has started five of Barcelona's seven LaLiga matches to open the season and remains the clear first choice at center back, building on a World Cup winning summer in which he was named the tournament's best young player at just 19 years old. Resting him during this stretch fits a pattern of managing a key player's workload given his heavy early season minutes.
