Spain at the 2022 World Cup: who is in Luis Enrique's 26-man squad?

Spain are looking to win their second World Cup title at the Nov. 20-Dec. 18 tournament in Qatar. Here's what you need to know about their squad:

How many players are Spain allowed to take to Qatar?

* Teams will be able to select up to 26 players for this year's World Cup after FIFA increased the maximum limit for squads by three in June, citing the unusual timing of the tournament as well as the impact of COVID-19.

* Coaches have until Nov. 14 to decide on their final list of 26 players by an 1800GMT deadline.

Who is in Spain's World Cup 2022 squad?

Spain's squad was announced on Nov. 11.

* Goalkeepers: Unai Simon (Athletic Bilbao), Robert Sanchez (Brighton & Hove Albion), David Raya (Brentford).

Luis Enrique appears to be a big fan of Simon's character and the Bilbao goalkeeper will be expected to retain his position as Spain's first-choice in Qatar.

* Defenders: Cesar Azpilicueta (Chelsea), Dani Carvajal (Real Madrid), Eric Garcia (Barcelona), Hugo Guillamon (Valencia), Pau Torres (Villarreal), Aymeric Laporte (Manchester City), Jordi Alba (Barcelona), Jose Gaya (Valencia).

The likes of Azpilicueta, Carvajal, Laporte and Alba bring plenty of experience to the Spanish backline in the absence of veterans Sergio Ramos and Gerard Pique.

* Midfielders: Sergio Busquets (Barcelona), Rodri Hernandez (Manchester City), Gavi (Barcelona), Carlos Soler (Paris St Germain), Marcos Llorente (Atletico Madrid), Pedri Gonzalez (Barcelona), Koke Resurreccion (Atletico Madrid).

Pedri was an important part of Spain's run to the European Championship semi-finals last year and the 2021 Golden Boy and Kopa Trophy winner heads into his first World Cup as one of their most dynamic options in midfield.
