Spain vs England Probable lineups
Luis de la Fuente has not confirmed a probable starting XI, and no injury or suspension data has been provided for Spain ahead of the match. Team news updates will be added closer to kick-off.

Spain vs England Match Preview
Spain host England at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Madrid on Sunday evening, in a UEFA Nations League Group A3 finale that will determine who finishes top of the table.
Luis de la Fuente's side arrive on the back of a 2-0 win over Czechia in Prague, a result that extended their unbeaten run to 43 matches. Spain's last defeat came against Colombia in March 2024.
England travel to the Spanish capital having beaten Croatia 2-1 at Wembley on Thursday. Harry Kane converted a match-winning penalty on a night he earned his record-breaking 126th international cap, surpassing Peter Shilton's long-standing record.
Both teams have already secured their places in the Nations League quarter-finals, but Sunday's result carries real weight. The group winners earn a superior seeding for the knockout draw in March 2027.
Spain go into the game having won all five of their group matches, with Lamine Yamal expected to return after missing the trip to Prague with knee pain. The Barcelona forward had started 20 consecutive matches before that absence, contributing 17 goals and 13 assists across that run.
Kane has made England's intentions clear. After Thursday's win, the captain said the squad's goal is to finish first, pointing to the opening defeat against Spain in September as motivation to prove what the team is capable of.
