Spain national coach Vicente del Bosque said that the injured Carles Puyol will open a serious hole in the defense of the team during Euro 2012. The specialist added that this will create a significant problem.

Earlier, it became clear that the experienced player has a knee injury and will be out about six weeks.

"Puyol is an amazing guy. He called me personally to tell me what is his condition. His injury is quite serious. His absence will create big problems for us in defense. This significantly confused my plans. Furthermore, he was a step away from match number 100 for the Spanish national team. He is a charismatic person. Great athlete. What happened is very sad for him, "were the first words of the coach of La Fourier.

"It is a shame, because he is one of my main players. I can't give information about his injury, just because I'm not a doctor. This is the work of the medical team of the Catalans" said Del Bosque.
