🇪🇸 Surprise in Spain's provisional squad: Carvajal out of the World Cup | OneFootball

On Spain’s preliminary squad list, there is one piece of news that has gone down like a bucket of cold water in Real Madrid circles. Dani Carvajal, captain and key figure for Real Madrid, has been left out of Luis de la Fuente’s squad.

The physical problems that have hampered the full-back in the final stretch of the season, added to a recent injury, have forced the national team coach to do without his experience for the World Cup appointment.

Despite the absence of the “2”, Real Madrid will still have representation in the national team. Fran García, who has established himself as a real threat down the left flank under Arbeloa, is among those selected. 

Alongside him, the presence of the young talents who represent the future of the club stands out. Dean Huijsen, the centre-back who arrived to strengthen Madrid’s defense, confirms his great international potential after choosing to represent Spain. 

Gonzalo García, in the preliminary squad

The big surprise, however, is the inclusion of Gonzalo García. The Madrid-born forward has enjoyed a meteoric breakthrough season in the first team, making more than 30 appearances and scoring decisive goals.

In this way, Real Madrid contributes three very different profiles to the preliminary squad: the maturity of Fran García, the solidity of Huijsen, and Gonzalo’s attacking boldness.
