Luis Enrique likes to surprise in calls as he did when he called Abel Ruiz or to own Robert Sanchez as the third goalkeeper. And in all the lists he usually puts something new. For these two friendlies he will test a player and at the same time keep his eye on him. In addition to the return of Pedri, absent from the absolute since the European Championship because he has been injured, the return of Adama Traoré is expected, who was also not on the last list that has returned like a cannon to LaLiga.

the sevillian fabian he is performing again at Napoli, but, in principle, it does not seem that he is going to return to the National Team. From the hard core of Luis Enrique’s Spain formed by the Unai Simón, De Gea, Robert Sánchez, Laporte, Alba, Gayà, Dani Olmo, Ferran Torres, Pablo Sarabia, Busquets, Rodri, Laporte or Morata there won’t be many absences, except perhaps for Boil and some who may also be left out due to some physical problem.
