We finally have a new national team break. The international teams that are not qualified for the World Cup will directly play the playoffs on these dates, while Spain, which has already qualified, will play several friendlies with Albania and Iceland.
For these matches, Luis Enrique has given the list today, Friday, and the players will go to the concentration camp on Monday after the weekend. Those selected for these meetings are: Unai Simón, Raya, Rubén Sánchez, Azpilicueta, Carvajal, Diego Llorente, Eric García, Pau Torres, Laporte, Jordi Alba, Marcos Alonso, Rodri, Koke, Marcos Llorente, Soler, Pedri, Gavi, Dani Olmo, Yeremi Pino, Ferran Torres, Sarabia, Morada and Raúl De Tomás.
The list features some key absences, mostly marked by injuries, others by technical decision. This allows in some surprises with players who will have a chance to go to the World Cup if they convince.
The main absence is that of the captain, Busquets, who is also at a high level, but as Luis Enrique has explained, he has preferred to rest him in these games, taking advantage of the fact that they are friendlies, so that he does not have physical problems between now and the end of the season . Another absence due to a technical decision is that of De Gea, who is also healthy, but has been left out to try other goalkeepers.
Then we have casualties due to injury such as Gayà, Ansu Fati, Oyarzábal and Canales. On the other hand, the only surprise would be Raya, a goalkeeper that few put a face to, but the experts agree that he has incredible conditions.
At a press conference, Luis Enrique also left the door open for Piqué, which could give another dimension to the team ahead of the World Cup. With players like the Catalan central defender, Busquets, Azpilicueta, Jordi Alba and young talents like Pedri, Gavi, Ferran Torres and if Ansu Fati recovers, Spain has a very interesting squad with a game that can surprise any team like It was seen in the European Championship.
