Confirmed lineups for Switzerland v Spain

Spain return to Nations League action looking to get back to winning ways after being held to a goalless draw by Serbia on the opening day of the tournament. 

'La Roja' will be looking for their first three points of the tournament to get off to a winning start in their title defence, Luis de la Fuente's side having beaten Croatia in the final back in 2023. 

The reigning EURO champions are in second place in their group with one point, two points behind leaders Denmark, who beat Switzerland 2-0 on matchday one. 

In addition, Spain have suffered the bad news that they will be without Dani Olmo after the Barcelona player suffered severe bloew to his knee against Serbia, but they can count on Rodri, who returns to international duty after serving a one-match ban for chanting against Gibraltar after winning the EURO. 

Confirmed lineups for the clash

Switzerland starting XI: Gregor Kobel (GK), Gregory Wüthrich, Manuel Akanji, Ricardo Rodríguez; Silvan Widmer, Remo Freuler, Denis Zakaria, Michel Aebischer; Zeki Ambouni, Breel Embolo and Ruben Vargas.

Spain starting XI: David Raya; Dani Carvajal, Robin Le Normand, Aymeric Laporte, Alejandro Grimaldo; Rodrigo Hernandez, Fabian Ruiz, Pedri Gonzalez; Lamine Yamal, Joselu Mato and Nico Williams.
