Team News: No changes for Spain ahead of Turkey clash

No changes for Spain ahead of Turkey clash

Spain boss Vicente del Bosque has kept faith with the same team that started their 1-0 win over the Czech Republic for Friday night's Euro 2016 Group D meeting with Turkey.

Gerard Pique, who scored the winner against the Czechs on Monday, starts alongside Sergio Ramos in central defence, while Nolito and David Silva will once again join Alvaro Morata in the final third.

Cesc Fabregas, meanwhile, continues to keep out Koke in the middle of the Spanish midfield as La Roja seek to seal their progress to the knockout rounds at the Stade de Nice.

In contrast, Turkey head coach Fatih Terim has made one change from the team that lost 1-0 to Croatia in their group opener.

The alteration comes up front as Burak Yilmaz, who has 20 international goals to his name, replaces Cenk Tosun.

Arda Turan, meanwhile, skippers the team from the left side of the attack and Hakan Calhanoglu will operate on the opposite side for the Turks tonight.

Turkey currently sit bottom of the group, but a victory this evening would move them above the Czech Republic.

Spain: De Gea; Juanfran, Pique, Ramos, Alba; Busquets, Fabregas, Iniesta; Silva, Morata, Nolito

Turkey: Babacan; Gonul, Topal, Balta, Erkin; Tufan, Inan, Ozyakup; Calhanoglu, Yilmaz, Turan
