Spain team news & squad
De la Fuente has named a new-look Spanish squad, with just 11 members from the 2022 World Cup squad and 15 fresh call-ups.
The likes of David Garcia and Joselu are looking for their international debuts, while Iago Aspas' recent performances for Celta Vigo has earned him a recall in the squad.
Given that Unai Simon is out injured, Brentford goalkeeper David Raya may be handed a start ahead of Kepa Arrizabalaga, with David De Gea left out of the squad again.
Pedri has withdrawn due to a hamstring issue, and skipper Alvaro Morata should lead the line of attack.
