The Spanish selection will look for to add a new star to his shield in Qatar. However, to two months that the balloon begin to film in the appointment mundialista and to little more than a week to know the names of those that will dress the red T-shirt in front of Switzerland and Portugal in the Nations League, the worry around the summoned of Luis Enrique begins to grow. And it is that until 13 of the footballers that formed part of the last list of the Asturian hardly are having prominence in this start of season, causing like this a big 'headache' for the trainer.

'Alarms' in the defence

The ex technician of the FC Barcelona keeps firm in his idea of only summon to those that have regularity in his team, by what the retaguardia of the 'Red' finds mermada. However, the goal is very covered in hands of Simón, Sánchez and Line, keys in his teams. On the other hand, the right side generates doubts, since although Carvajal is settled in the Real Madrid, César Azpilicueta has lost weight in Chelsea, with Marcos Llorente like possible alternative.

In the central saga, so much Eric García like Pau Torres are fixed in his teams and keep inside the plans of the trainer. In this same line, these plans could see 'trastocados' thanks to Iñigo Martínez and Aymeric Laporte, those who have lost continuity because of diverse physical setbacks. By his part, although Sergio Bouquets has gone back to accumulate minutes in his piernar when recovering of his injury, his presence in the selection does not go through the head of the trainer, being Diego Llorente the first alternative for Luis.

Finally, in the left side lives an authentic 'drama' because of the fault of continuity of the main options of the trainer. Jordi Alba has lost his place in the team of Xavi Hernández, whereas Marcos Alonso follows without debuting officially this season because of his traspaso to the Barça. Gayá Neither has premièred by a sanction, whereas Reguilón is in the dry dam. With Bernat being acting in the PSG, the option of Marc Cucurella is the clearest with special attention to Balde, that could be the big surprise thanks to his good present in the City Condal.

A medullary of 'gala'

The main novelty of the announcement will be the turn of Pedri, the one who has recovered completely of the injury that kept it moved away of the terrains of game during a good stretch of the past season. Accompanying to the Canarian will be the usual Busquets, Rodri, Gavi, Koke and Marcos Llorente. Likewise, the recent signings of the PSG, Fabián Ruiz and Carlos Soler also could happen unpublished of the announcement to the equal that Thiago, the one who carries four parties went by injury. Mikel Merino also could go in in the list.

The forward generates doubts

Of the seven forwards that formed part of the last announcement made by Luis Enrique, only Morata has regularity. Raúl of Tomás has not participated in any party in what it goes of season, whereas Marco Asensio only has contested 10 minutes. Sarabia Has gone out from the start in two occasions with the PSG and so much Ansu Fati like Ferran Torres follow without winning the titularity in the FC Barcelona.

By his part, Dani Elm and Mikel Oyarzabal find in the dry dam by both injuries to the equal that Rodrigo Moreno, whose good start of campaign saw braked by a physical setback. Like this then , the alternatives of Iago Sails, of glorious walk in LaLiga Santander, Borja Churches and Yeremi Pino begin to win integers in the quinielas, although the trainer does not have it so clear.
