Spain Includes Two Barcelona Stars in Starting Lineup Against Georgia
The Spanish national football team is set to face Georgia in a crucial World Cup qualifying match. This event will take place in Tbilisi, where La Roja seeks to secure valuable points for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Starting Lineup Features Two Barcelona Stars
Head coach Luis de la Fuente has unveiled his starting lineup for the game. Among the chosen players are two prominent stars from FC Barcelona:
- Pau Cubarsi – Key defender
- Ferran Torres – Forward
Cubarsi will anchor the defense alongside Aymeric Laporte from Athletic Club. Up front, Torres will lead the attack, supported by Alex Baena and Mikel Oyarzabal.
Bench and Notable Absences
Notably, two other Barcelona players, Fermin Lopez and Dani Olmo, have been left on the bench. Earlier speculations suggested they might start, but de la Fuente opted for a different strategy. The team will miss several critical players due to injuries:
- Lamine Yamal – Out with physical discomfort
- Pedri – Injured
Lamine Yamal was initially included in the squad but was released on the training camp’s first day. This decision sparked frustration from de la Fuente and the RFEF.
As the match approaches, Spain is focused on leveraging their strong lineup, which includes key Barcelona talents, to achieve a successful outcome against Georgia.
