Ansu Fati, Dani Carvajal back in Luis Enrique's Spain squad

Ansu Fati, Dani Carvajal back in Luis Enrique's Spain squad

Spain boss Luis Enrique has selected fit-again Barcelona attacker Ansu Fati in his squad for the national team's upcoming World Cup 2022 qualification fixtures.

La Roja will take on Greece on November 11 before facing Sweden three days later, as the team's Group B campaign comes to a close.

Fati is back in the squad, having worked his way back from injury, while Dani Carvajal has become the first Real Madrid player to make Enrique's squad in 235 days.

Villarreal's Gerard Moreno and Real Sociedad's Mikel Oyarzabal are both absent through injury, which has opened the door for Leeds United's Rodrigo to earn a spot in the squad.

Pablo Fornals, meanwhile, has been in impressive form for West Ham United during the 2021-22 campaign, and the attacker has also been included.

Gavi became Spain's youngest ever international player when he featured against Italy in the UEFA Nations League last month, and the Barcelona midfielder again makes the squad.

Full squad

Goalkeepers: David De Gea, Unai Simon, Robert Sanchez

Defenders: Cesar Azpilicueta, Dani Carvajal, Aymeric Laporte, Eric Garcia, Pau Torres, Inigo Martinez, Jordi Alba, Jose Gaya

Midfielders: Sergio Busquets, Rodri, Gavi, Carlos Soler, Koke, Mikel Merino

Forwards: Pablo Sarabia, Yeremi Pino, Alvaro Morata, Rodrigo, Pablo Fornals, Dani Olmo, Ansu Fati, Brahim Diaz
