World champions Spain are set to face Czechia in the UEFA Nations League tonight, with the goal of extending their unbeaten streak in the competition. The team, which has won four consecutive matches during the last international break, will take on Santi Denia’s side in Prague. Spain's head coach, Luis de la Fuente, has revealed the starting lineup for the match against Czechia.
Real Madrid players Marc Cucurella and Dean Huijsen have been included in the squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup winners. Cucurella, who is a regular in the defensive line for De la Fuente, will start as left-back in place of Atletico Madrid defender Alejandro Grimaldo, who was overlooked. On the other hand, Huijsen has earned a recall to the national team this season, following a strong start at Real Madrid and missing out on the World Cup.
The young Los Blancos starlet gets an opportunity to feature from the beginning of the match, as Aymeric Laporte, De la Fuente’s preferred starter, is absent due to injury.
