The NBA player used the break to get to know the capital of Galicia

Ricky Rubio he left football on the sidelines and focused on enjoying tourism. Player on Cleveland Cavaliers from NBA visited this morning Santiago de Compostela, where he took the opportunity to try octopus at the Plaza de Abastos. The Spanish playmaker is resting before preparations begin at the end of the month for the World Cup, which will be held in the Philippines, Japan and Indonesia.

His return to the Spanish team and the debut of Santi Aldama are the main news in the list that coach Sergio Scariolo announced for the championship, which will take place from August 25th to September 10th.

Rubio, who missed the World Cup four years ago due to injuries, is one of the big stars and veterans returning to the national team, alongside Sergio Llull and Víctor Claver, apart from Álex Abrines who are part of the 16-man shortlist.

“Every day I feel better. It’s been a long time away from the field, so I’m very happy to be doing what I love the most. It’s frustrating to be injured, and as you get older you see things in a different way, a more mature way. You want to come back in the best shape possible and enjoy this sport as much as you can,” Rubio admitted a few months before Scariolo announced the list.
