La Roja have arrived in Copenhagen, where they’ll face Croatia in the last 16 of Euro 2020 on Monday evening. Both sides will compete for a place in the quarter final. The Spanish squad arrived at lunchtime in Denmark, to a climate a great deal cooler than the one they left back home.

Luis Enrique and Koke will speak to the press at about 17.45 before heading to the Parken Stadium for a training session according to Diario Sport. Luis Enrique has a full complement of players to choose from for the game, although Croatia will be missing Ivan Perisic, who’s tested positive for covid-19.
Spain finished second in their group to get to Denmark, drawing with Sweden and Poland before beating Slovakia. Croatia also finished second in their group; they lost to England, drew with the Czech Republic and beat Scotland.

La Roja go into the game with a degree of optimism given the emphatic nature of their 5-0 evisceration of Slovakia, but will be cautious of the fact that it’s none other than Real Madrid maestro Luka Modric running their opponents’ midfield.
