Latest information on the Spain vs Denmark squad
Spain will be missing several key players, including Rodri and Dani Carvajal, both of whom have suffered anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and will be out for several months. Le Normand, who was already suspended for this match, is also unavailable due to a head injury sustained while playing for Atletico Madrid earlier this month, along with Ferran Torres, Dani Olmo, Gavi, Nico Williams, and Bryan Gil.
Pedro Porro and Oscar Mingueza will compete for the right-back spot, while 17-year-old Pau Cubarsi could make his second international appearance at centre-back alongside Aymeric Laporte. With Rodri absent, Martin Zubimendi, a star being pursued by Real Sociedad, is likely to take on a key role in midfield, supporting Pedri and Fabian Ruiz, while Lamine Yamal and Alex Baena could provide attacking support for Alvaro Morata.
As for Denmark, they will be without Joachim Andersen, Mikkel Damsgaard, Christian Norgaard, and Morten Frendrup due to injury, while defender Rasmus Nicolaisen, who has yet to make an appearance, has also withdrawn.
However, Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund has returned to the national team after missing last month's training camp due to injury, and he is likely to feature as a forward, possibly alongside or replacing Yussuf Poulsen, who scored against Serbia in the previous match.
Christian Eriksen will make his 137th international appearance in midfield, partnering with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Morten Hjulmand, while Jannik Vestergaard could be deployed in a three-man defense alongside Rasmus Kristensen and Victor Nelsson.

Latest football match prediction: Spain vs Denmark
After winning Euro 2024 with a 2-1 victory over England, Spain were held to a 0-0 draw by Serbia in their Nations League opening match last month. However, La Roja bounced back with a win on matchday two, beating Switzerland 4-1 despite being down to 10 men after 20 minutes. Fabian Ruiz scored two goals, alongside strikes from Joselu and Ferran Torres, while Robin Le Normand received a red card.
Under the leadership of Luis de la Fuente, the team extended their unbeaten run to 12 matches, with 10 wins and 2 draws, unbeaten since March following a 0-1 defeat to Colombia in a friendly. Spain scored at least two goals in their last nine matches, beating strong teams such as Germany, France and England.
Ranked third in the world by FIFA, Spain are confident of winning against Denmark, having won all four of their most recent encounters with a combined score of 10-2.
Denmark endured a disappointing Euro 2024, drawing all three group stage matches and only just making it through to the round of 16, where they lost 0-2 to Germany. This led to the departure of coach Kasper Hjulmand, and interim coach Lars Knudsen got off to a good start with two Nations League wins against Switzerland and Serbia.
The 2-0 victory against Switzerland, despite being down to nine men, was followed by a similar win against Serbia, somewhat avenging the 0-0 draw at Euro 2024. Denmark, ranked 20th in the world by FIFA, currently tops Group A of League 4 and is eager to consolidate its leading position after two previous Nations League seasons.
However, a victory on Saturday could be a challenge for Denmark, as they have only won two of their previous 16 encounters with Spain, with their last win coming in March 1993. Despite a good start under interim coach Knudsen, their strength will be tested away from home against Spain, who still possess many quality players despite the absence of several key players due to injury.
La Roja will be considered the favorites in this match, and are likely to score more goals than their opponents to secure the three points needed to take the top spot in the group.
