Luis Enrique has offered a list of 24 summoned full of news on all lines. The great attraction is Pedri, who after his great performances with Barcelona has been called by the coach to join the Absolute at 18 years old.
The first significant change came in goal, where Kepa Arrizabalaga falls for good after his constant substitutions at Chelsea. He is replaced by Robert Sánchez, which is having a great year at Brighton. In defense Pedro Porro enters on the right side and Jordi Alba returns, which had not yet been cited in this second stage of Luis Enrique. Reguilón and Jesús Navas fall. Two of the great attractions on the list, Alba and Pedri, had already been advanced by AS on March 9. Luis Enrique confirmed that news by including them on the list.
Pedri enters the midfield and in the rest there is a lot of continuity: Busquets, Rodrigo, Marcos Llorente, Canales, Koke and Fabián remain, joined by Thiago (low due to injury in the last list). Asensio is not up front and his place is occupied by Bryan Gil.
Luis Enrique has called six players who are of Under-21 age and that they will not be able to go with La Rojita to the Eurocup that starts on March 24: Pedro Porro, Éric García, Pedri, Bryan Gil, Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres. Three of them (Porro, Bryan and Pedri) debut in a call for the Absolute.
Spain starts its qualifying path to the Qatar World Cup, which takes place at the end of 2022. In this break, La Roja will face on Thursday, March 25 to Greece in Los Cármenes (Granada), travel to Tiblisi to play against Georgia on Sunday 28 and returns to Andalusia for his match against Kosovo on Wednesday 31st, at La Cartuja in Seville.
This list is especially significant because It is the last before Luis Enrique announces at the end of May the 23 chosen to play the Eurocup. The coach takes into account the performance in the clubs, although he also values (and a lot) the performance that the players give during the days they are at his command, since he is a very demanding coach and not everyone adapts with the same ease to your ideas. Therefore, those who perform at a high level during this concentration will have a foot and a half in the Eurocup next summer …
