Spain predicted XI v France: PSG’s Fabián Ruiz to start | OneFootball

Fabián Ruiz, recently crowned European champion with Paris Saint-Germain, will start for Spain against France in Thursday’s UEFA Nations League semi-final.

Ruiz is expected to start in midfield for La Roja later tonight, with Luis De La Fuente not expected to spring any surprises against Les Bleus. Gavi is only expected to start on the bench for Spain, with Martín Zubimendi and Pedri expected to start alongside him. Lamine Yamal will start on the right wing with his teammate at club level, Dani Olmo, playing through the middle.

Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella is expected to start at left-back, with new Real Madrid signing Dean Huijsen starting at centre-back. La Roja are expected to be deployed in a 4-3-3 in Stuttgart as they look to secure their place in the final.
