Report: Casillas & Alcacer to start

Iker Casillas and Paco Alcacer will tonight start for Spain against Macedonia in their first Euro 2016 qualifier.

AS reports only four players remain from last week’s friendly defeat to France – Sergio Ramos, Sergio Busquets, Cesc Fabregas and Koke.

David De Gea kept goal against Les Bleus and Vicente Del Bosque had suggested the Manchester United custodian would feature regularly in future, but Casillas returns to the side today, as captain.

Atletico Madrid’s Juanfran comes in for the injured Dani Carvajal at right-back while Ramos is partnered by Raul Albiol and Jordi Alba takes over from Cesar Azpilicueta at left-back.

Alcacer will be supported by David Silva and Pedro Rodriguez, the Valencia forward replacing the injured Diego Costa.
