Unai Simón, Laporte and Nico Williams return with Spain vs Croatia

Unai Simón, Aymeric Laporte and Nico Williams of Athletic Club are back with Spain for the Nations League matchday 2 against Croatia at Sánchez-Pizjuán (20:45). The trio started in Wembley and Luis de la Fuente is expected to rotate.

Édouard Djaló will also play an official fixture with Guinea-Bissau: they host Nigeria (18:00) in the CAF 2027 qualifiers. The winger made 20 minutes on Friday versus Tanzania, with this set as the last game of the current international window, so he could return to Athletic for the EH Kopa in Anoeta.

The Athletic goalkeeper remains without a debut for his national team and did not take part in the “bolo” against Colombia. Endika Río, meanwhile, is set for a friendly against Mexico, against Peru in New Jersey, kicking off at 3:00 a.m. from Tuesday to Wednesday.
