But there’s no room in Luis Enrique’s squad for Sergio Ramos, Thiago and David de Gea.

Unai Simon, David Raya and Robert Sanchez are the three goalkeepers that have been called up in place of De Gea and Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The likes of Pau Torres, Eric Garcia and Laporte have been preferred to Ramos.

Also missing out is Chelsea’s summer signing, Marc Cucurella.

The left-back joined the Blues in August hoping that he would be able to force his way into the side but it has not worked out as he had hoped.

While Spain have an embarrassment of riches in the middle of midfield, meaning Thiago has been left out. View the squad below…

They have been placed in Group E alongside Costa Rica, Germany and Japan.
