Luis de la Fuente has selected 26 players for Spain's upcoming Nations League fixtures. The September 18 squad includes first call-ups for Josep Martínez and Roberto Fernández, alongside the return of Huijsen and Fermín.
Options across the team
The selection adds alternatives without revealing the starting XI. Josep Martínez joins the goalkeeping options and Roberto Fernández strengthens the attacking pool. Their first task is to settle into the national team's work; inclusion does not guarantee a debut.
Wembley starts the schedule
Spain visit England on September 26, then face Croatia on September 29, host Czechia on October 3 and meet Croatia again on October 6. The window brings together four Nations League matches.
The Spain shirt is part of the shared language of supporters following these fixtures from the stands or at home.
TBO SPORT analysis: what to watch
The range of opponents will make it useful to follow how the team adjusts from one match to the next. Pressing coordination, the distances between the lines and combinations involving the arrivals deserve attention. Rotation could help distribute the workload, but it should not be treated as a decision already made. A squad creates options; collective performance depends on how those options are used. The clearest evidence will come from the eventual line-ups and the team's behaviour on the pitch.
