Spain squad & team news
It won't be a surprise if Spain coach Luis Enrique names an unchanged XI, with Torres, Asensio and Olmo forming the front three. Gavi and Pedri should join Sergio Busquets in the middle of midfield.
The back four may also be the same, with Aymeric Laporte partnering Rodri at centre-back, ahead of the likes of Pau Torres and Eric Garcia.
Alejandro Balde, who replaced the injured Jose Gaya in final squad to travel to Qatar, made his senior international debut after coming off the bench against Costa Rica but Jordi Alba is likely to keep his place at left-back.
