Luis Enrique has named the 23 men he’s selected for La Roja’s international break. His team will face Albania on March 26th before taking on Iceland on March 29th. Both matches will take place at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Barcelona.
Spain will hope to use the international break to further deepen ties amongst an already cohesive squad. They made it to the semi-final of Euro 2020 together only to lose to eventual winners Italy at Wembley Stadium. They also made it to the final of the Nations League only to lose to reigning world champions France.
Luis Enrique hasn’t made any dramatic decisions and has retained his core of players that he trusts. The Asturian has handed a debut, however, to Brentford goalkeeper David Raya. The 26-year-old has spent his entire senior career in England, with Blackburn Rovers, Southport and now Brentford.
Goalkeepers: Unai Simon, Robert Sanchez, David Raya.
Defenders: Marcos Alonso, Jordi Alba, Aymeric Laporte, Pau Torres, Eric Garcia, Diego Llorente, Cesar Azpilicueta, Dani Carvajal.
Midfielders: Rodri, Koke, Pedri, Marcos Llorente, Gavi, Carlos Soler.
Forwards: Dani Olmo, Pablo Sarabia, Alvaro Morata, Raul de Tomas, Ferran Torres, Yeremi Pino.
