The national men’s soccer coach, Luis de la Fuente, will provide this Monday, May 27, his pre-list of those called up for the dispute of the German Euro Cup in which it debuts on June 15 and which will surely be composed of between 29 and 31 footballers of the 26 that will finally travel.
“At first we had the idea of calling 26 players, but we are going to call for more. We estimate that about 30, or 29, 31… around four or five more players, to have any situation that may arise on this last day covered,” confirmed De la Fuente during an interview with Movistar Plus+ last Thursday.
In this sense, many of the names that will be in this call seem ‘fixed’ because they are very common in the previous ones that the coach has offered during the more than a year that he has been in office. What is certain is that he will not be able to count on an injury to the left back with Jose Luis Gayà (Valencia) nor with Francisco Alarcón, ‘Isco’ (Betis), whose name had sounded very strongly to return to the ‘Roja’ again. The absence of the Valencian player opens the door for Alejandro Grimaldo (Bayer Leverkusen), con Marc Cucurella (Chelsea), who was called in the previous one, as the best positioned.
The one who does seem very sure that he will be there will be the midfielder. Pedri González (FC Barcelona), a footballer that De la Fuente knows very well, but who, due to injuries, has not been able to count on him during his time at the head of the Absolute. The Canarian has not played with the Nations League champion since the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Another name that could return to a list with the Rioja coach could be the Real Madrid defender Nacho Fernandezwho has had many good minutes in this last stretch of the season and whose versatility to play in all positions of the defense can be a plus.
That same quality could also be used for the entrance of Marcos Llorente (Atlético de Madrid), a player who has also not been on any previous De la Fuente list, while another novelty could be another midfielder like Fermin Lopez. The FC Barcelona player could make the jump from the U-21 and have his chance to win a ticket to the Eurocup after being one of the best in the final stretch of his team.
Dani Vivian (Athletic Club), Gerard Moreno (Villarreal) and Pablo Sarabia (Wolverhampton) hope to remain after their presence on the previous list, and others like Ferran Torres (FC Barcelona), who have already enjoyed the coach’s trust, return.
The technician from La Rioja will offer to the media starting at 11:00 a.m. at the Luis Aragonés Hall of the Las Rozas Football City (Madrid) their chosen ones for the continental tournament where the champion of the Nations League is framed with Croatia, Italy and Albania.
Those chosen by the coach will gather at the federation facilities on Saturday, June 1, except for the Real Madrid players Let him mention the one from Haro since they are playing the Champions League final that day and will do so later.
Before traveling to Germany to face the Euro Cup, the Spanish team will play two preparatory friendlies, on June 5 against Andorra in the Nuevo Vivero de Badajoz and on June 8 before North Ireland in the Mallorca Son Moix Stadium in Palma.
