Nico Williams The other injured person not traveling with the expedition was the list consisting of: 23 soldiers UEFA allows to register for each match.
Just two doubts
The eleven aim to be very similar to the team that beat Scotland. De la Fuente had already caught his fingers with great rotations in the Glasgow duel, his only defeat so far, and Beyond Fran García’s obligation to BaldeThe rest of the team might be the same.
There would only be two doubts in the middle of the field Mikel Merino plays his position with Fabián Ruizelectricity at one end Bryan Zaragoza may have options either by Oyarzabal, as in Sevilla, or by Ferran Torres.
An advantageous opponent
