Nations League
England and Spain fine‑tune their line‑ups for the showdown at Wembley
England and Spain will face each other this Tuesday at Wembley in the Nations League, with Spain seeking their second official win at the stadium. The last time Spain won there, in 2018, they did so 2-1 thanks to the goals of Saúl Ñíguez and Rodrigo Moreno.
England lineup
At 19:40, England presented their starting eleven: Trafford, Quansah, Konsa, Guéhi, O'Reilly, Anderson, Lewis‑Skelly, Saka, Bellingham, Gordon and Kane. The right back remains one of the big unknowns for the English side.
Spain confirmed their lineup at 19:31 with Unai Simón, Eric, Cubarsí, Laporte, Cucurella, Rodri, Fabián, Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Nico Williams and Ferran. Spain faces the absence of Pedro Porro due to injury, so Luis de la Fuente is looking for an alternative, with Eric García among the candidates for the right side.

In midfield, Rodri Hernández returns to be a key piece, while Fabián Ruiz competes to accompany him. Pedri, Dani Olmo and Fermín López provide options in more advanced positions.
De la Fuente's new selections include Eric, Ferran and Nico, three additions compared to the World Cup final, prompted by the injuries to Porro, Oyarzabal and Baena. Moreover, Fabián remains ahead of Pedri on the list of call‑ups.
A new adventure begins for Spain, who have declared: “This is our STARTING ELEVEN to face England”. #VamosEspaña #NationsLeague
