Of all of them, even in case of absences, exactly which players already have earned a place in Qatar, where it is well placed or who they are fighting still for the last vacancies? ONE Full scene review.
secured area
There are about 18 players that, unless they suffer an injury or a very strange situation, they seem to have a guaranteed place in the plane bound for Qatar.
When it comes to defending the goal, that’s where Luis Enrique seems to have the least doubts: Unai Simon, David Raya and Robert Sanchez they usually repeat as the guests, with Simón as the undisputed headliner. Several names passed through the defense, and then Pau Torres, Eric Garcia and Diego Llorente There doesn’t seem to be any doubt they’ll go to the World Cup, either Dani Carvajal and Cesar Azpilicuetathe men on the right side.
As midfielders, there seem to be several guarantees for Luis Enrique Sergio Busquets, Rodri, Pedri, Koke, Gavi, Marcos Llorente and Carlos Soler, names from which their usual titles have come out in every match of the National Team.
More doubts are created in the attack: Alvaro Morata, Pablo Sarabia and Ferran Torresoften the attacking starting trident, they are the only ones who do not seem to be escaping Qatar 2022.
well placed
Among Jordi Alba, Jose Gaya and Marcos Alonso there seems to be a fight two positions to cover Spain’s left flank. Aymeric Laporte, Inigo Martinez and Hugo Guillamon. They are also names controversial to act as alternatives in central defence.
Marco Asensio and Jeremy Pino They have regular cards in attack, so it wouldn’t be surprising if they were called up for the World Cup as well Daniel Olmo despite his injury sidelining him since last call-up. Borja Iglesias He was the last choice as a centre-forward to make the list and, with his high relevance at Betis, also appears as favourite.
They are fighting for a position
To complete Spain’s Qatar 2022 line-up, they appear among the names of the most relegated Sergio Ramos, Raúl Albiol, Thiago, Sergio Canales, Mikel Merino, Ansu Fati, Gerard Moreno, Nico Williams, Raúl de Tomás and Iago Aspas.
