Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal and Como striker Alvaro Morata will miss the 2026 World Cup as they were not included in the expanded 55-man squad of the Spanish national team coach Luis de la Fuente. According to Sport24.az, the AS newspaper reported this.
According to the source, the decision has already been made and is not expected to change. De la Fuente has been closely monitoring Carvajal and Morata for a long time. Their inconsistent performance throughout the season and proneness to injury have influenced the head coach's decision.
It should be noted that Carvajal and Morata were previously appointed captains of the national team. The final squad of 26 players is expected to be announced on May 25.
