Defenders called up are João Cancelo, Ronald Araujo, Pau Cubarsí, Gerard Marín, Eric Garcia, Álvaro Corés, and Xavi Espar. Midfielders on the list include Gavi, Pedri, Fermín López, Marc Casadó, Dani Olmo, Marc Bernal, and Tommy Marqués. The forwards are Ferran Torres, Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Marcus Rashford, and Roony Bardghji.
The absence list remains unchanged due to injuries: Alejandro Balde, Jules Kounde, Frenkie de Jong, and Andreas Christensen are still sidelined. Flick has the advantage of calling upon a stable group without further injury concerns.
