Spain face a fitness concern over Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal, who was substituted with a back problem during the 3-0 win over Bulgaria. The 18-year-old provided an assist before his withdrawal, but coach De la Fuente expects him to be available for Sunday’s clash.

Fabian Ruiz has been ruled out with a muscle injury in his left leg and has left the squad. This opens up opportunities for other midfield options, with Arsenal’s Martin Zubimendi and Barcelona’s Pedri likely to feature alongside the returning Rodri.
