Spain and England meet on Sunday at Madrid’s Riyadh Air Metropolitano in the final group-stage fixture of their UEFA Nations League campaign, with first place in Group A3 on the line.
Spain arrive in excellent form, leading the group with a flawless 15 points from five games. They have now gone 43 matches without defeat in all competitions, building on their World Cup final win against Argentina in July.
La Roja began their Nations League campaign by beating England 3–2 at Wembley. They then defeated Croatia twice, winning 4–1 and 2–1, before overcoming Czechia 3–1 at home and 2–0 away.
Spain team news
Spain have been boosted by the return of Lamine Yamal, who has recovered from the knee inflammation that kept him out of Thursday’s 2–0 win over Czechia. Manager Luis de la Fuente has not yet said whether the winger will begin the match in the starting XI.
Mikel Oyarzabal is also expected to be available after recovering from illness. Nico Williams and Aymeric Laporte remain doubts after suffering from the same bug, while left-back Alejandro Grimaldo withdrew from the squad on Saturday because of a fever.
Spain will be without injured midfielder Rodri, who has a hamstring problem, as well as Dani Olmo and defender Eric García. Ander Barrenetxea also left the camp earlier with a thigh injury, leading De la Fuente to call up Jorge de Frutos as a replacement for the important final match in Madrid.
