Sergio Ramos and Thiago Alcantara have missed out on Spain’s World Cup squad as Luis Enrique opted for youth as La Seleccion ramp up preparations for Qatar. The 2010 winners have maintained a wealth of experience in the shape of Sergio Busquets, Dani Carvajal and Alvaro Morata.
Elsewhere the Netherlands have selected an exciting squad with Xavi Simons the standout pick, with the PSV starlet causing havoc recently as the Dutch giants outplayed and beat Arsenal. Louis Van Gaal’s squad has both strength and pace, while there is also flair running through the side, with Cody Gakpo another skilful option. The Dutch head coach also outlined plans for his players to meet with migrant workers in Qatar.
Sadio Mane faces a race against time to make it for Senegal, however, with mixed messages coming from his country and Bayern Munich. Follow all the latest news and squad announcements from the 32 teams below
