Spain are without some big names with Dani Carvajal and Rodri long-term absentees due to ACL injuries.

First-choice goalkeeper Unai Simon is out and Arsenal’s David Raya is in line to deputise. Lamine Yamal is also unavailable, as is Barcelona teammate Gavi. Aston Villa centre-back Pau Torres withdrew from the squad due to a muscular issue.

There are inclusions for the uncapped Aitor Paredes, Marc Casadó and Samu Aghehowa. The latter has started the season on fire for FC Porto, following his move to the club from Atletico Madrid in the summer window.

Aghehowa has scored 11 goals in 12 appearances across all competitions this season, including a Europa League brace against Manchester United.
