A hole in the right side… and Samu Omorodion on the attack

Luis de la Fuente This Friday, choose the players for the matches against Denmark (October 12, in Murcia) and Serbia (three days later, in Córdoba). In this double home match, the European champion can almost seal her access to the quarterfinals of the Nations Leaguethe competition in which he defends his crown.

The list is marked by losses in what is the coach’s main idea. There are major absences due to injury, such as cases of Unai Simón, Rodri, Dani Olmo, Le Normand and the now distant Gavi. More Merino recently recovered from his shoulder injury and Yeremy Pino between cottons.

To these absences will be added against Denmark, leader of the group after the first two days, those of the sanctioned Carvajal and Le Normandundisputed defenders in the coach’s lineup. The red and white man also suffered a tremendous blow to the head in the derby that has him under constant observation. He is a safe low for the selection.

The loss of the defender Real Madrid It’s a serious matter. That, that of the right back, is a position in which Spain has had a deficit for some time. It happened in the era of Luis Enrique and it lasts over time. The withdrawal of Jesus Navas It leaves Spain against the Danes without the two right-backs of the Euro, the two on which De la Fuente has based his lineups.

For the clash against the Nordics, De la Fuente will have to rack his brain to solve a problem that requires answers for when Carvajal can’t play

On the list last September it premiered Minguezawho did not play a single minute. His start to the season was impressive, but he doesn’t always play as a 2.

The panorama in Spanish football in that position does not offer many options, quite the opposite that has been happening for a long time on the other side.

Marcos Llorente It was Luis Enrique’s solution, but with From the Source He was only in the first group of the Euro to be cut after playing only 45 minutes against Andorra in Badajoz. He is not seen as a full-back that adapts to the idea of ​​the national team. But his options were buried with the injury in Lisbon.

Something similar happens with Pedro Porro. At Tottenham he was on De la Fuente’s original list and on that just a year later. He played against Scotland and Colombiathe two defeats of this stage, and in both games he was far from what is expected of him.

Options

In this work of present and future for that position the name of Alexander French. The player of Girona He can play as a winger and as a center back, which covers the double sanction that Spain has now. That’s what De la Fuente had with Nacho, but the central defender Al-Qadsiah He was not there in September, which sounded like a message to explore other avenues for the future. He knows French well From the Source of the lower ones.

In Girona there is also another option: Arnau Martínez. Two seasons ago he was close to the national team, but last season he lost his step before the power of Yan Couto.

Juanlu (Seville) and Hugo Novoa (Alavés) are well-known players from the youth teams. The name of Lucas Vazquez appeared at the gates of the Euro. His experience is evident, as well as the fact that he plays very little on his team.

Morata, Bryan, Paredes… ¡and Samu!

Aside from that dilemma on the right side, the list will have news. One, the return of Morataabsent due to injury a month ago. In the front it falls Dani Olmo, injured, and Yeremy is on the limit. This opens the door to the return of Bryan Zaragoza, a player whose national team I wanted his departure from Bayern so that I had minutes. The presence of Sergio Gomez as a starter and important in Real is another great news for From the Source
