Retained in the first expanded list unveiled by the Spanish national coach, Luis de la Fuente, the binational, Brahim Diaz, does not appear in the final group of Roja communicated this Friday.
Indeed, the Spanish-Moroccan, member of AC Milan, is not among the 26 players who will represent Spain in the next matches of the Euro 2024 qualifiers.
Having been the subject of several speculations concerning his sporting nationality, Diaz, who has never hidden his desire to defend the colors of Spain, will not do so in the end.
De la Fuente opted for a mix between globalists, former matadors, but also some new recruits.
For the next deadlines, in particular Norway on March 25 and Scotland three days later, have therefore been selected:
– Goalkeepers (3): Kepa (Chelsea / ENG), Robert Sanchez (Brighton / ENG), David Raya (Brentford / ENG).
– Defenders (8): José Luis Gaya (Valencia), Laporte (Manchester City/ENG), Inigo Martinez (Athletic de Bilbao), Nacho, Carvajal (Real Madrid), David Garcia (Osasuna), Pedro Porro (Tottenham/ENG) , Alejandro Balde (Barcelona)
– Midfielders (7): Rodrigo Hernandez (Manchester City/ENG), Martin Zubimendi, Mikel Merino (Real Sociedad), Gavi, Pedri (Barcelona), Ruiz (Paris SG/FRA), Ceballos (Real Madrid)
