The Spain Lineup That Should Start Against Ukraine

Don't worry, it's the last of the international fixtures for this break and club football returns this weekend.

While we're all hoping and praying that none of our favourite club's key players get injured in the final international fixtures this week, it is still an opportunity to watch the world's most exciting players grouped into one squad to play together. While in recent years Spain have been somewhat underwhelming, they are on the up once more.

Sergio Ramos is as entertaining as ever, while the emergence of players such as Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres and Dani Olmo give the Spanish people hope for the future after a dismal several years following early 2010s success.

They face Ukraine on Tuesday evening in the Nations League and a win ensures they keep their spot at the top of Group A4. Here's how La Roja should line up to secure all three points.

1. Goalkeeper & Defenders

David de Gea (GK) - There still remain question marks over his form for Manchester United, but De Gea is doing the business in the Spain shirt as of late.

Jesus Navas (RB) - The veteran has found a way back into the national team in a new defensive role. Luis Enrique has found success in using Navas as a right back, where he has thrived at Sevilla.

Sergio Ramos (CB) - Captain, leader, Panenka penalty specialist. Ramos is the first name on the team sheet.

Pau Torres (CB) - The 23-year-old has slotted seamlessly into the senior set-up and looks wise beyond his years. One for the future.

Sergio Reguilon (LB) - The Tottenham new boy missed out against Switzerland at the weekend, but could be recalled should Luis Enrique look to shuffle his deck.

2. Midfielders

Sergi Roberto (CM) - Barcelona's utility man deserves the chance to show his worth in the side ahead of the veteran Sergio Busquets in this one. Fresh legs and more competition is a gift that Spain must make use of.

Rodri (CM) - The Manchester City man sat out against Switzerland also, but could be recalled in this one. These are the games he needs to make an impact in if he wishes to truly stake his claim and take a place in the side.

Dani Olmo (AM) - Olmo has impressed neutral fans all around with his performances for La Roja during the break. Those who don't regularly watch him at RB Leipzig have learnt how talented he is, especially at just 22.

3. Forwards

Ferran Torres (RW) - Another City man, Torres is a new face to the set-up but brings youth and excitement to the side. One to watch.

Mikel Oyarzabal (ST) - Oyarzabal bagged the winner in poacher's fashion against Switzerland, capitalising on an opposition mistake. Spain lack a plethora of options at number nine, thus the 23-year-old has the chance to stake his claim once more.

Ansu Fati (LW) - The teenager has hit the ground running following his call-up to the senior squad. A goal and an assist in three Nations League games isn't a bad way to introduce yourself. At just 17, Fati is the future for both Barcelona and his country.
