Luis Enrique will give this Friday in Barcelona the list of summoned for the friendlies in preparation for the World Cup against Albania (RCDE Stadium, Cornellá, Saturday 26, TVE) and against Iceland (Riazor, A Coruña, Tuesday 29, TVE). No big changes are expected, since the Asturian coach will respect the group that qualified for Qatar 2022. The bad news is the casualties of two fixed, Ansu Fati and Oyarzabal, both with long-term injuries. Barça players will dominate Luis Enrique’s list.
In the pre-list of 45 footballers that the Federation has sent to UEFA there are seven Barça players who are regulars on Luis Enrique’s lists. In addition to Adama and Ferrán, signed by Laporta in the winter market, there are also Eric García, Jordi Alba, Busquets, Gavi and Pedri. Barça did not contribute seven internationals to Spain since the World Cup in Brazilalthough his peak was when Javi Clemente took nine Barça players to the World Cup in the United States, in 1994. They will not be the only players from the city of Barcelona in the relationship, since Raúl de Tomás, Espanyol striker, is also expected to be called up .
On the other hand, both in Barcelona, a city in which Spain has not played for 18 years, and in A Coruña, the capital in which he had not appeared for 13 years, the visit of the National Team has raised a lot of interest and in both cases it is expected to be full in both stadiums.
