Cox\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<p><strong>GK: Unai Simon \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Wholesale changes are expected from the manager, but starting goalkeeper Simon, who\u2019s enjoyed a quiet tournament so far, could keep his place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RB: Jesus Navas \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Dani Carvajal is walking the suspension tightrope and will almost certainly be preserved for the round of 16. Veteran Navas should come in for his first minutes of the tournament.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CB: Dani Vivian \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Nacho Fernandez is suffering with a hamstring problem and will be rested for the knockouts. 24-year-old Vivian has earned just two caps for the national team having made his debut earlier this year amid an impressive season with Athletic Club.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CB: Aymeric Laporte \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0The former Manchester City defender entered the tournament with a minor knock and has built up his fitness throughout the group stage. He\u2019ll get a chance to impress on Monday and will hope to play his way into the round of 16 XI.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LB: Alejandro Grimaldo \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Marc Cucurella has so far sidelined Grimaldo, with the Chelsea left-back starting Euro 2024 superbly. The Bayer Leverkusen star suits De la Fuente\u2019s high-octane approach and will fly up and down the left flank.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CM: Martin Zubimendi \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Arsenal are one of several clubs keeping a close eye on Zubimendi this summer, with the elegant holding midfielder set to earn his first start of the tournament in the absence of the suspended Rodri.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CM: Mikel Merino \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Merino had a chance of being the third member of this Spain midfield, but De la Fuente opted for PSG\u2019s Fabian Ruiz alongside Rodri and Pedri. Thus, Merino has been limited to 24 minutes off the bench.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CM: Alex Baena \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Pedri will be wrapped in cotton wool for Monday\u2019s game given his injury history, allowing 22-year-old Baena a chance to shine on the big stage. The Villarreal midfielder has just four caps to his name.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RW: Ferran Torres \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0The Barcelona forward typically impresses for the national team, but he\u2019s been sidelined by a 16-year-old at\u00a0Euro 2024. Lamine Yamal has earned his place as Spain\u2019s starting right winger, but Torres should get the nod against Albania.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ST: Dani Olmo \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0De la Fuente could stick with the theme of the tournament and opt for a traditional #9 in Joselu, but the manager also has Olmo to call upon. The RB Leipzig star has shone in multiple roles over the years and could operate as a withdrawn forward in Dusseldorf.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LW: Mikel Oyarzabal \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0The Real Sociedad winger entered Euro 2024 in fine form, but Nico Williams\u2019 brilliance has limited Oyarzabal to just 37 minutes of action so far this summer. He\u2019s a certainty to come into the side on Monday.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spain became the first side to book their place in the Euro 2024 round of 16 as group winners following a convincing 1-0 win over Italy on matchday two, and their group stage concludes against Albania on Monday night.
