Spain Names Squad for Nations League Matches

Barcelona is set to face Real Sociedad as they aim to reclaim a nine-point lead in the league, with a squad that includes Pau Cubarsí despite his injury, although he may not play. In contrast, Spain's coach Luis de la Fuente has announced a 28-player squad for upcoming Nations League matches against Denmark and Switzerland, with Álvaro Morata called up despite a recent head injury. Noteworthy first-time inclusions are Aitor Paredes, Marc Casado, and Samu Omorodion, the latter being in great form with Porto. The absence of Real Madrid players marks a significant shift, with Dani Carvajal injured and Joselu Mato dropping out. Dani Olmo returns to the national side, while Gavi is not included as he continues his recovery. Spain's matches are critical for securing the top spot in their group, which would provide a significant advantage in the tournament's knockout stage.
