Latest Spain vs Türkiye team information

Spain entered this training session without Pedri, Rodri, Dani Carvajal and Lamine Yamal due to injury.

Real Madrid defender Dean Huijsen is unlikely to be used after he was ruled out of Saturday's game with a groin problem.

If he wants to refresh his attack, De la Fuente could choose Yeremy Pino for his starting lineup on Tuesday.

Oyarzabal will continue to search for goals, as he has scored eight times in his last eight games for the team.

On the Turkish side, they are without Fenerbahce midfielder Ismail Yuksek due to suspension following his second yellow card in qualifying.

Galatasaray's Kaan Ayhan is unlikely to feature after leaving the field early with injury in his last match.

Abdulkerim Bardakci and Kerem Akturkoglu are working to recover after missing Sunday's training session.

Luis de la Fuente's men have won all five games, scoring 19 goals and conceding none, making it five consecutive clean sheets.

They consolidated their lead at the top of Group E with a convincing 4-0 win away to Georgia on Saturday, setting a new Spanish football record of 30 unbeaten matches in official competitions.

Mikel Oyarzabal celebrated his 50th cap with a double, while Martin Zubimendi (Arsenal) and Ferran Torres (Barcelona) also scored.

Spain need only avoid a seven-goal defeat to book their place in the tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico, where they will be aiming for a second World Cup title.

La Roja have every right to be confident of securing a ticket with a win, especially as they have won all four of their most recent encounters with Türkiye, including a 6-0 thrashing in Istanbul in September.

That defeat – in the third match – remains Türkiye's only poor result in qualifying, having taken full points against Georgia and Bulgaria both home and away.

They officially secured a place in the top two with a 2-0 win over Bulgaria last weekend thanks to a Hakan Calhanoglu penalty and an Atanas Chernev own goal.

In fact, Türkiye know they will almost certainly have to play a playoff if they are to qualify for their first World Cup since 2002 – a tournament where they finished third in Japan and South Korea.

Although a seven-goal win over Spain is unthinkable, Türkiye will travel to Sevilla hoping to become the first team to beat La Roja in a competitive match since Scotland won 2-0 in a Euro qualifier in March 2023.

To do that, Vincenzo Montella's team must become the first team to score against Spain since the Nations League final against Portugal in the summer.

However, their hopes of a shock are significantly diminished as Türkiye have failed to beat Spain in their last nine encounters (L6 D3).
