Appointed new coach of Spain after the World Cup in Qatar, Luis de la Fuente has unveiled his first list with 26 players selected. And there are surprises. Among the men present in Qatar, there are only 11 survivors. So change and absences that stand out.
Luis Enrique’s successor has chosen to leave many players on the side, including three Barcelonans (Jordi Alba, Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati) and elements like Marco Asensio or Koke. If Carlos Soler is absent, PSG does have a representative with Fabian Ruiz.
