Many changes were expected and De la Fuente has fulfilled what was expected: only 11 footballers have repeated in a list where there have been a total of 14 changes. The most significant have been the return of Nacho and Ceballos, who are having a great season; the additions of Gerard Moreno Moreno and Oyarzabal, who return after overcoming their respective injuries; Joselu accompanying Morata as a pure ‘9’; and the call to Zubimendi and David Garciawho will debut in the national team.

In goal there has not been a big change. With the loss of Unai Simón who is still injured in his Achilles heel, Kepa is the great novelty in the announcement. The Chelsea goalkeeper will accompany Robert Sánchez and David Raya, the other two goalkeepers called up on Luis Enrique’s latest list.

In the defensive line there have been up to four changes: they have entered Nacho Fernandez, david garcia, Pedro Porro and gayá, who returns to the squad after his controversial departure from the World Cup in Qatar. Balde, Laporte and Carvajal complete the defense.

The midfield is one of the lines of the team that has undergone the most changes compared to the last call: Fabian, Mikel Merino and Ceballos, they return to the list. Rodri, Pedri and Gavi, remain and Martín makes his debut zubimendithe pearl of the Royal Society.

Finally, in the offensive zone only Morata, Dani Olmo and Nico Williams have remained. Iago Aspas -one of the most controversial absences from the last World Cup-, Joselu, Gerard Moreno and Bryan Gilare the novelties of a list of footballers who will face Norway (March 25) and Scotland (March 28), in the first qualifying matches for the 2024 Euro Cup held in Germany.
