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.
