BARCELONA — Spain are preparing to field an attacking arsenal for their Nations League showdown with England, with manager Luis de la Fuente confirming the availability of two key forwards following their absence from recent action.
Yamal and Oyarzabal missed Spain's comfortable 2-0 win over the Czech Republic on Thursday but are expected to be fit for Sunday's encounter. De la Fuente indicated that the duo's return would bolster Spain's offensive options as they look to maintain momentum in the competition.
The Nations League fixture marks a significant test for the Spanish side, who have been in strong form throughout the campaign. With Yamal and Oyarzabal back in contention, Spain will field a more complete attacking unit against the English side.
De la Fuente has managed squad rotation carefully throughout the Nations League fixtures, with an eye toward maintaining player fitness across the demanding international schedule. The confirmation of Yamal and Oyarzabal's return suggests they have overcome any minor ailments that kept them sidelined against the Czechs.
