🎙️ De la Fuente: 26 players, three goalkeepers and there could be surprises | OneFootball

Luis de la Fuente has revealed several details of his upcoming squad announcement for the 2026 World Cup in an interview on former footballer Mario Suárez’s YouTube channel.

The national team coach admitted that he has the list "decided," but he also wanted to build anticipation with several details that invite speculation and reflection. "It’s possible that there could be a player who hasn’t been with us so far," the coach explained.

De la Fuente did, however, confirm that there will be no preliminary list followed by later cuts. "The idea we have is to call up 26 players," he stated. He also confirmed that he will call up three goalkeepers.

He says he would "love to take the 5 or 6 who have been with us," but that the three chosen "are exceptional goalkeepers."
