Spain defines its starting eleven for the friendly against Peru as final test before the World Cup

Luis de la Fuente, coach of the Spanish national team, has made significant changes to the starting eleven in the friendly against Peru, a clear indication of what the team could look like for the World Cup debut against Cape Verde. Two years ago, only two players remained in the starting lineup, now Laporte and Ferran are the repeaters. On the right flank, Marcos Llorente has quickly gained ground, while in goal, there is no debate: Unai Simón is the undisputed starter. In midfield, Rodri, Pedri, and Fabián Ruiz form the central axis.

Continuity and Preparation

The team that starts against Peru in the friendly has a good chance of being the same one that will face Cape Verde in the World Cup. With the presence of Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal, a progressive evolution in the team's composition is apparent. Baena and Ferran will accompany Oyarzabal on the wings, maintaining a consistent line of work in recent months. In defense, Cubarsí partners with Laporte, with Cucurella solidifying the left-back position.
