Samu Omorodion, who, makes the jump to the senior team from the U-21, being named for the first time by coach Luis de la Fuente for Spain’s last two games in the group stage of the Nations League. The team, already classified, will face Denmark as a visitor, and against Switzerland in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. In addition to Samu, defender Aitor Paredes and midfielder Marc Casadó have also entered the list for the first time. On the other hand, Dani Olmo, Nico Williams, Ayoze Pérez and Yeremy Pino return.
Álvaro Morata has been called up by De la Fuente despite being in Milan, after having received a blow to the head during the Italian league match against Cagliari. The forward underwent an MRI that ruled out serious damage, but he was admitted for observation, as appropriate according to protocol after a head injury like the one he suffered.
“The family grows. It is time to give the opportunity to players who are earning it and focusing on the future. Our view goes further, recognizing the football potential they have at the highest level so that they can compete in the Spanish team,” he said about the changes made to the list.
Captain Álvaro Morata remains in it, who was admitted to a hospital in Milan this Thursday after suffering a severe blow to the head in training. “It’s okay,” De la Fuente confirmed. “There is no problem. “We have to comply with a protocol but under normal conditions he will be able to play the first game and, if not, the second for sure.”
Pau Cubarsí has had worse luck, who is out due to the nine stitches that had to be applied to his face after a blow in the Champions League with Barcelona against Red Star.
