"La Roja" will not call up a replacement

The first international break following the World Cup has yielded plenty of intrigue, including one of the greats' final acts in international soccer.

Dominik Livakovic did not move to Barcelona to simply make up the numbers, with his representative confirming a long-term plan to seize the starting role at Camp Nou. The Croatian international arrived as a low-cost reinforcement, but he has set his sights on displacing Joan Garcia as the club's preferred number one by the time the 2027 season kicks off.

Porto striker Samu Aghehowa has opened up about the emotional torment of missing Spain's World Cup campaign following a devastating knee injury. The 22-year-old forward faced a gruelling 223-day rehabilitation process after rupturing his cruciate ligament, leaving him psychologically unable to watch matches as La Roja pursued glory in North America.
