Everything you need to know ahead of England’s first game since the World Cup
England and Spain will clash in the opening match of the 2024 Nations League season at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 26 September at 7:45pm BST. The Three Lions are eager to bounce back after their World Cup semi-final heartbreak and subsequent victory in the third-place playoff. This will be the first meeting between England and Spain since the Euro 2024 final, another defeat for the home side.
Manager Thomas Tuchel leads England's squad, which has seen several injuries with Cole Palmer, Declan Rice, Tino Livramento, Marcus Rashford, and Kobbie Mainoo all pulled out. Reece James and John Stones were also unavailable due to injury, with Morgan Gibbs-White and James Garner stepping in.
Spain, coached by Luis de la Fuente, will be without Pedro Porro and Joan Garcia, while Marcos Llorente has retired. The top two teams in the group will advance to the Nations League quarter-finals, with additional fixtures against Croatia and the Czech Republic scheduled for this international break.
England captain Harry Kane and star forward Lamine Yamal will face off in this crucial encounter. Kane, who scored 73 goals for club and country last season, will be looking to lead his team to a positive start.
