Overview

• Coach Luis de la Fuente unveiled a 26-man roster for World Cup qualifiers against Georgia on October 11 in Elche and Bulgaria on October 14 in Valladolid.
• Lamine Yamal is included after a recent pubic issue and public criticism from Barcelona over his previous workload, with the winger having already returned to club action this week.
• Captain Álvaro Morata is left out, while injuries sideline Nico Williams, Dani Carvajal, Gavi and Fermín López, and Fabián Ruiz is also absent due to physical problems.
• Notable recalls feature Marcos Llorente and Pablo Barrios, with Álex Baena and Aleix García also named in a largely continuity-based squad.
• Spain leads its qualifying group with six points and a victory over Georgia could leave direct qualification for the 2026 World Cup nearly secured.
