Spain are set to face Georgia in their World Cup qualifier, and Luis de la Fuente has confirmed his starting lineup — featuring a strong Barcelona presence.
Pedri takes up his usual No. 10 role for La Roja, even though Barcelona had raised concerns over his recent fatigue and heavy workload.
Ferran Torres also starts in attack, stepping in for Lamine Yamal, who pulled out of the squad due to discomfort in his pubic area.
At the back, teenage defender Pau Cubarsí partners Atlético Madrid’s Robin Le Normand in central defence, completing the trio of Barcelona players in Spain’s XI.
With Dani Olmo ruled out through a calf injury, these three are the only Barça players left in the Spain squad — and all of them start.
Barcelona fans will be keeping a close eye, hoping their stars make it through the game without any injury setbacks.
