Overview
- Kickoff is 5 p.m. GMT at Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena in Tbilisi, with Spain top of Group E after four wins and zero goals conceded.
- Victory would leave Spain virtually assured of World Cup qualification thanks to a superior goal difference with two matches remaining.
- Spain are without Lamine Yamal after a minor groin procedure that surprised the federation, plus injuries to Rodri, Pedri and Nico Williams.
- The RFEF’s final squad list for Georgia omitted Real Madrid defender Dean Huijsen along with Samu and Jorge de Frutos, with Laporte, Cubarsí and Vivian available at center-back.
- Georgia have three points from four games and must win out while relying on Turkey to drop points, and they are missing Georges Mikautadze and Otar Kakabadze.
