Luis de la Fuente plans changes for Spain's match against Saudi Arabia

Luis de la Fuente is expected to make significant changes to Spain’s starting lineup ahead of their crucial World Cup match against Saudi Arabia on June 21. The coach emphasized the need for rotations during a recent press conference, stating that different players can bring various strengths to the game. Defensive concerns have arisen with Aymeric Laporte facing physical discomfort, possibly opening a spot for Eric García in central defense. The midfield will also see changes, as Fabián Ruiz and Gavi may start on the bench, making way for Pedri and Dani Olmo. Lamine Yamal might start on the wings despite concerns regarding his fitness. Spain seeks three points to bolster their chances for qualification in the tournament.
