Spain have the opportunity to leapfrog Denmark into the top spot in Group A4 of the Nations League should they claim all three points in the game between the sides on Saturday.

At the moment, Denmark top the group after beating Serbia and Switzerland, with La Roja in behind in second. The latter beat Switzerland in September but also surprisingly drew 0-0 with Serbia.

Here's how the squads are shaping up.

Spain Team News

Spain and Real Madrid will be without talismanic right-back Dani Carvajal who recently suffered a serious knee injury, while Ferran Torres is also now out injured for eight weeks.

Bryan Zaragoza and Bryan Gil were brought into the squad as replacements, but the latter has had to pull out after feeling something in training.

Like Carvajal, Rodri also has a serious knee injury, while Robin Le Normand withdrew from the squad after suffering a serious brain injury in a shocking head collision in the Madrid derby.

Pedro Porro was called up to for the first time in 18 months.

Exciting wingers Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams will feature heavily in both games.
