De la Fuente drops Valles, Laporte and Nico Williams for Czechia
Laporte and Nico Williams miss the Prague clash for medical reasons, while Jacobo Ramón and Marc Roca could make their senior debuts tonight.
Spain coach Luis de la Fuente has left Álvaro Valles, the Betis goalkeeper, and the two Athletic Club players, Aymeric Laporte and Nico Williams, out of the squad for tonight's Spain-Czech Republic game in Prague. Valles was part of the list announced on Friday, but he will not dress alongside Unai Simón, David Raya and Joan García, the three keepers ahead of him.
According to Hoy, the absences of Laporte and Nico Williams are for medical reasons: the centre-back is recovering from a viral illness, while the winger has been dealing with health problems since he arrived at Las Rozas. Spain, already through to the Nations League quarter-finals, want to extend their run of 42 consecutive matches unbeaten.
The trip to Prague could bring the senior debuts of Jacobo Ramón, the Como centre-back wearing the number 14, and Marc Roca, the Betis midfielder with the number 17, although Ramón is expected to start on the bench.
The squad is now final, and Valles, who was in the first call-up, is no longer part of it.
