New Spanish coach repeats only 11 of the 26 who went to the World Cup

The new Spanish coach, Luis de la Fuente, opens a clear fracture with the recent past. In his first call-up, after succeeding Luis Enrique, de la Fuente leaves 15 world players out and repeats 11 names.

Although some players are automatically left out, like Unai Simón, injured, and Busquets, who withdrew from the selection, the new coach recovers names that had been absent from the options for some time, like Kepa and Nacho.

The list leaves Unai Simón, Azpilicueta, Eric Garcia, Jordi Alba, Guillamón (under-21), Pau Torres, Busquets, Koke, Marcos Llorente, Carlos Soler, Ferrán Torres, Marco Asensio, Ansu Fati, Sarabia and Yeremy Pino (under-21). 21).

Former Sporting player Pedro Porro is one of the many newcomers, with Abel Ruiz (Braga), who was pre-summoned, going to the under-21s.

Spain plays Norway on the 25th of March and Scotland on the 28th. These are the matches that mark the start of the qualifying campaign for Euro 2024.
