Luis de la Fuente, coach of the Spain national team, has announced the Matador's line-up for today's clash against England on Sunday evening at the Metropolitano Stadium, in the conclusion of the group stage of the UEFA Nations League.

Just one year ago, Jude Bellingham was facing a storm of criticism in England, which went as far as calls for his exclusion from the national team's plans for the 2026 World Cup.

England travel as heavyweight guests to face their Spanish counterparts this Sunday evening at the Metropolitano, in the conclusion of the group stage of the UEFA Nations League.

The Premier League is no longer the inevitable destination for the best English talent, despite its standing as the most competitive and financially powerful competition in the world of football. Behind the spotlight, the millions and the fierce competition, a striking trend is taking shape that is driving a growing number of England's stars to take on experiences beyond their country's borders, in search of different challenges, and perhaps of a recognition they did not find in sufficient measure within the Premier League.
