Against Italy, without Gayá, Soler, Olmo, Alba …, but with Pedri

Luis Enrique will offer this Thursday the list of Spain for the Nations League. The national team will play against Italy on Wednesday at the San Siro stadium. If he wins, he will play the final of the tournament on Sunday 10 against the winner of the other semi-final, which will be played by the teams of France and Belgium. The match for third place will be that same day, in Turin.

Spain will reach the tournament in a box. The casualties have been primed with the internationals. The two forwards of reference of Luis Enrique, Morata and Gerard Moreno will not be. Dani Olmo, Thiago, Jordi Alba, Carlos Soler, Gayà and Carvajal are also injured. Total, a bleak panorama in which the only joy may be the return of Pedri and, although it is a more remote option, also Ansu Fati's.

Logically, the rosary of casualties allows the entry into the Selection of other players who have been asking for passage for a long time. Rafa Mir, Sevilla forward, is one of them. Also Abel Ruiz, who could repeat. The presence of Fornals, who shone in Kosovo, is fair and also necessary. As always, and more so in the circumstances explained, there will be a surprise on the list. We will see if it affects any Real Madrid player, a team without representation in the National Team since the last European Championship.
