On Friday 6th March, FIFA closes the deadline for the 16 teams who will compete at the Olympic Games to send their prelist. And according to 'Marca', Luis de la Fuente has already prepared his.
It hasn't been too difficult since the aforementioned source assures that the list contains all the players eligible for it, whether they are from La Liga, Segunda División, youth teams, foreign leagues... i.e more than 300 players.
Therefore, Sergio Ramos, who already asked to play at the Olympics, is on a prelist in which the presence of Gerard Piqué is surprising. The Barca CB already announced his international retirement at the time.
When the squad list is made, De la Fuente will only be able to call up 3 players born before 1st January 1997. The rest of the squad will have to be under 23.
And for those places, there are 9 names who have a great chance of going to Tokyo. Junior Firpo, Fabián, Ceballos, Fornals, Merino, Pedraza, Martín Agirregabiria, Marc Rosa and Sibera are over 23 but contributed to the Olympic qualification at the Euro under 21 championships.
