Luis de la Fuente, coach of the Spain national team, revealed his initial list of 29 players, which will later be reduced to 26, in order to participate in the European Championship “Euro 2024”.

Isco was without a team during the second half of the 2022-2023 season after leaving Sevilla, as his transfer deal to Union Berlin collapsed in January last year, but the 32-year-old former Real Madrid player regained his brilliance with Betis, and became one of the most influential players, without… This culminates in his return to his country’s national team.

The name of Paris Saint-Germain winger Marco Asensio was also absent from De La Fuente’s list for poor competition and game play, while Real Madrid striker Joselu was included in the “La Roja” national team’s list.

Barcelona player Fermin Lopez, 21 years old, joined the Spanish squad for the first time, hours after his brilliance at the end of the Spanish League, as did striker Ayoze Perez, who plays for Real Betis and is 30 years old.

The Real Madrid trio will devote themselves to preparations for the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund on June 1 at Wembley Stadium, after which they will join the Spain national team camp.

Spain will play in the difficult second group of the European Championship, starting against Croatia on June 15, before playing 4 days later with defending champion Italy, then concluding the first round against Albania on the 24th of the same month.
