The situation
With two months to go before the World Cup, Luis Enrique has given the penultimate list before Qatar 2022 and the big news is Borja Iglesias and Nico Williams. These players take the last train for the great national team tournament and will have the opportunity to demonstrate their conditions and settle in the square in the two Nations League games that Spain will play before the end of this month of September: against Switzerland at La Romareda de Zaragoza, on Saturday the 24th, and against Portugal, in the city of Braga, on Tuesday the 27th.
The details
The complete list is as follows:
Goalkeepers : Unai Simón, Robert Sánchez, David Raya.
Defenses : Pau Torres, Jordi Alba, José Gayà, Hugo Guillamón, Diego Llorente, Eric García, César Azpilicueta and Dani Carvajal.
Midfielders : Sergio Busquets, Rodrigo Hernández, Pedri González, Koke Resurrection, Pablo Gavi, Carlos Soler and Marcos Llorente.
Forwards : Pablo Sarabia, Nico Williams, Marco Asensio, Álvaro Morata, Borja Iglesias, Yeremy Pino and Ferran Torres.
Injuries and substitutions have forced Luis Enrique to modify his plans, although the World Cup bloc has been decided since qualifying was achieved. In reality, the Asturian coach will wait until the last minute for Oyarzabal, in case he recovers in time, and will also include other players who are not in this call but who will recover in time, barring unforeseen events. Among them are Gerard Moreno, Dani Olmo and Laporte. The next matches of the Nations League will measure Spain before the World Cup, since after them they will only play a friendly before debuting in the World Cup, a match against Jordan on November 17, just a few days before the tournament. But first we have to attend to the commitments against Switzerland and against Portugal. Spain is first in the group before playing these two games. They are one point ahead of the Portuguese and four points ahead of the Czech Republic. Therefore, the match in Braga will be decisive since only the first ranked will access the final four of the tournament, which will be played in June next year.
