Two forwards, Olmo and Morata, and a defender, Azpilicueta, could not train with Spain due to physical problems after the game against Japan, which was extremely demanding. Morata exercised on the bike and most likely he will be fully recovered by Tuesday, match day against Morocco. Dani Olmo, who started the first three games of the group stage, is also expected to arrive on time. The one who raises the most doubts is Azpilicueta, with a strong blow to the calf.
Carvajal had to come out in the second half of the match against Japan to cover the loss of Azpilicueta, who has a very strong blow to the soleus and is a serious doubt for the match against Morocco. Luckily for Luis Enrique, there is another player, Marcos Llorente, who can play in that position. In this way, the coach will be able to have two players per position, precisely in the one in which he makes the most rotations, on the wing.
The rest of the footballers went out to train this Friday afternoon, although there are several others who are already accumulating fatigue and the blows received in the group stage. Among them are Pedri and Gavi, mainstays in the midfield along with Busquets. This is the only line that Luis Enrique has respected in the team and, therefore, the one that he considers to be the fundamental axis in Spain’s game.
