Iván Fresneda, Sporting's defender, made his debut on the Spanish under-21 national team's call-up list under Gordo's guidance.

Iván Fresneda, a defender for Sporting, made his debut on the Spanish under-21 national team's call-up list. The 21-year-old player is thus an option for David Gordo for the matches against the Norwegian and Finnish teams, both counting towards the qualification for Euro 2027.

The match against Norway is scheduled for October 10, while the game with Finland will take place on October 14. At the moment, the Finns lead group A, although they have the same points (six) as the Spaniards.

Another notable name on the list is Marc Bernal, who recently recovered from a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee (with an associated injury to the external meniscus). The midfielder was out of competition for a year: he played against Rayo in August 2024 and only returned at the beginning of September 2025.

Iván Fresneda - valued at 8 million euros - has already played eight matches wearing Sporting's jersey this new season: five in the Liga Portugal, two in the Champions League - the last one against Napoli - and another in the Super Cup. In the 549 minutes of participation, he has already recorded one assist.

See the call-up list: Goalkeepers: Ander Astralaga, Salvi Esquivel, and Bruno Iribarne; Defenders: Iván Fresneda, Álex Jiménez, Cristhian Mosquera, Simo Keddari, Jacobo Ramón, Yarek Gasiorowski, Álex Valle, and Rafa Obrador; Midfielders: Marc Bernal, Chema Andrés, Mario Martín, Miguel Carvalho, Gerard Hernández, and Pau Prim; Forwards: Ángel Ortiz, Eliezer Mayenda, Sergio Rodelas, Matías Fernández-Prados, Gonzalo García, and Marc Guiu.
