How Spain could line up against Ukraine

Sports Mole looks at how Spain could line up in their UEFA Nations League clash with Ukraine on Sunday night.

Spain will continue their 2020-21 UEFA Nations League campaign with a home match against Ukraine on Sunday night.

La Roja picked up a point against Germany in their tournament opener on Thursday, with Jose Gaya coming up with a stoppage-time equaliser in the 1-1 draw.

Luis Enrique's side will now be looking to move onto four points in Group 4 of League A, but Ukraine are unbeaten in their last 11 matches during an impressive run of form.

Sunday's affair will be the sixth international meeting between the two sides, and Spain have won four and drawn one of the five previous encounters.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how Enrique's team could line up against Ukraine.


POSS SPA XI vs. UKR

It could be a case of same again for Spain on Sunday night, providing that La Roja do not report any late fitness concerns in the build-up to the contest.

A new-look XI took to the field against Germany, with Manchester City's Ferran Torres, Barcelona's Ansu Fati, Sevilla's Oscar Rodriguez and Real Sociedad's Mikel Merino all making their debuts.

Fati particularly impressed off the bench, but it would not be a surprise to see Enrique select the same XI for a second successive match, with Jesus Navas potentially keeping his spot in attack.

Ferran Torres is again likely to feature alongside Rodrigo Moreno in the final third, while Fabian Ruiz should keep his spot in the middle of the park, having impressed against Germany in just his seventh international game.

Sergio Busquets could potentially be replaced by Merino or Rodri in midfield, while Eric Garcia is an option at the back should Enrique wish to pull either Pau Torres or Sergio Ramos out of the XI.

Dani Olmo and Gerard Moreno will also be hoping for some type of involvement against Ukraine, who top the section courtesy of their 2-1 success over Switzerland last time out.

Manchester United's David de Gea was given the nod over Chelsea's Kepa Arrizabalaga to start between the sticks against Germany and that is again expected to be the case for this match.
