02/12/2020

Julen Lopetegui has called up five players from the academy: Alfonso, Adrián González, Javi Vázquez, Zarzana and Iván

Julen Lopetegui has published the 23-man squad to face Chelsea FC tonight in the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. There are few new additions to the squad, but Jesús Navas does return after he was suspended against Krasnodar.

Escudero, Acuña, Suso, Bono, and Carlos Fernández are still out through either injury or COVID-19. Gnagnon and Aleix Vidal, who travelled to Huesca, cannot be included in the squad as they were not registered for the Champions League squad. The academy players Alfonso, Adrián González, Javi Vázquez, Zarzana and Iván complete the 23-man squad.

The squad in full: Vaclík, Alfonso, Adrián González, Jesús Navas, Koundé, Diego Carlos, Sergi Gómez, Rekik, Javi Vázquez, Gudelj, Fernando, Joan Jordán, Óliver Torres, Rakitic, Zarzana, Óscar Rodríguez, Franco Vázquez, Ocampos, Idrissi, Munir, En-Nesyri, De Jong and Iván.
