Xabi Alonso's return to the Spain set-up was cut short at the Nuevo Estadio de Malabo. The Spanish midfielder was on the receiving end of a tough tackle from Fijdeu before the break and immediately signalled to come off.
The Real Madrid midfielder limped off shortly before the interval and could be seen grimacing at the pain from his left ankle.
It was a cruel ending to what had looked like being a triumphant occasion for Alonso, who was making his comeback in a Spain shirt after eight months out injured. The midfielder was handed a start by Vicente del Bosque in Malabo.
