How Spain could line up against Iceland

How Spain could line up against Iceland

Spain boss Luis Enrique is expected to make wholesale changes to his starting XI for Tuesday's international friendly with Iceland in La Coruna.

La Roja recorded a 2-1 victory over Albania in Saturday's friendly, and there was a debut between the sticks for Brentford goalkeeper David Raya, who was named in the squad ahead of Manchester United's David de Gea.

Enrique is expected to change his stopper for this match, with Unai Simon likely to feature, as Robert Sanchez has left the squad after testing positive for COVID-19, while Cesar Azpilicueta, Aymeric Laporte and Jordi Alba could come into the defence.

There are also likely to be three changes in midfield, with Carlos Soler, Marcos Llorente and Koke all in line for starting roles against Albania at the weekend.

Dani Olmo came off the bench to score the winner last time out, and the RB Leipzig attacker is expected to come into the front three for this contest.

Yeremi Pino is also pushing for a starting role, but Alvaro Morata and Ferran Torres could keep their spots in the final third of the field.

Hugo Guillamon, meanwhile, will be hoping to earn just his second cap for the national team at some stage during the contest.

Spain possible starting lineup: Simon; Azpilicueta, Laporte, Torres, Alba; Soler, Llorente, Koke; Olmo, Morata, F Torres
