Luis de la Fuente has announced the final squad for the World Cup, leaving out 24 key players in Spain's journey from the Euro to the World Cup. Some absences have caused great disappointment and surprise among fans and the players themselves.
The Path to the World Cup
After winning the Euro, Spain was getting ready for the World Cup with a long list of 50 players who contributed in the qualification matches. However, only 26 could be selected, leaving many talents out of the squad.
Difficult Decisions and Bitter Farewells
The final list has brought difficult moments for players like Álex Remiro, who despite his trajectory in the national team, is left out. Robin Le Normand, Huijsen, and Vivian also join the list of sacrifices, with the latter accumulating the most minutes since the Euro.
Farewell to pillars like Morata and Carvajal
The absence of Morata and Carvajal, confirmed weeks ago, marks the end of an era for two key players in the Euro. The disappointment has been particularly bitter for Carvajal, whose return after an injury will not culminate in participation in the World Cup.
The Chosen Ones for the Title Fight
Out of the 26 called up, only two players have been present in all of De la Fuente's lists since taking office. Arsenal brings in two consistent players to the national team, while others like Mikel Merino, Fabián Ruiz, and Oyarzabal also remain in the fight for the world title.
