De la Fuente brings out the big guns for Bernabeu showdown with Brazil in football friendly

Spain coach Luis de la Fuente is set to make changes for the friendly against Brazil, following a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Colombia. Key players are expected to return, including Unai Simon, Alvaro Morata, Dani Carvajal, Robin le Normand, and Lamine Yamal. There is uncertainty over Rodri’s participation due to a family illness.

Spain’s struggle to defend against Colombia highlighted issues on the flanks, with right-back Pedro Porro caught out of position. Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo are expected to feature for Brazil, posing a threat to Spain’s defense. The match will also showcase 17-year-old Endrick, who will join Real Madrid this summer.

With a strong connection to Real Madrid, Tuesday’s game at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium could turn into a ‘Real Madrid love-in.’ However, after the disappointing loss to Colombia, De la Fuente seeks a strong performance to prove Spain’s potential for success in the upcoming UEFA European Championship. Fans anticipate an intense duel on the pitch as Spain aims to bounce back from their recent setback.
