"Return of the regulars": sweeping changes to Spain's line-up for the clash with Croatia

La Roja aim to seal qualification

Luis de la Fuente has named his Spain starting line-up to face Croatia on Tuesday evening in the fourth round of the UEFA Nations League group stage.

Spain top the group with 9 points from three wins. England sit second on 6, Croatia follow on 3, and the Czech Republic prop up the table with none.

Victory tonight would send Spain through to the Nations League quarter-finals. Croatia, meanwhile, need to beat the world champions to keep their own hopes alive.

Having rung the changes against the Czech Republic last time out, De la Fuente has recalled most of his first-choice players, with Unai Simón, Cubarsí, Cucurella and Oyarzabal all back in. Pubill also returns at right-back, having started against England and Croatia in the first leg.

Spain line up as follows:

Unai Simón, Pubill, Cubarsí, Laporte, Cucurella, Rodri, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Baena, Oyarzabal.
