How will Spain line up at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022?

Spain is rated as one of the top five favorites to win the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Of course, a primary reason for this is because of the Spain World Cup squad. Spain will pose a serious danger to whatever squad they face with the number of outstanding players at their disposal.

Furthermore, it wouldn't surprise us if Spain advanced far in the World Cup this year. Prior to the competition, they were assigned to Group E, which also contains Germany, Japan, and Costa Rica.

The Spanish team will undoubtedly have their toughest challenge in Germany if they are to get to the knockout rounds.

But regardless of where they place in the group standings—first or second—they will still have a chance to win the competition. Again, this is all a result of the strength of the Spain World Cup team, and right here, before Qatar, we have provided details on the expected players.

All possible players for the starting eleven have been discussed, from goalkeepers to forwards.

How will Spain line up at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022?

Just to be clear, the precise player list is unknown at the time of writing. This won't be made public until we're somewhat closer to the event. Now that we have things resolved let's start considering the potential players that Spain will announce as the starting eleven for Qatar.

• LB

  : Jordi Alba

• CM

  : Sergio Busquets

  : Koke

Spain's Group stage matches are scheduled as below:

• Wed, Nov. 23, 11:00 a.m.

  : Spain vs. Costa Rica, Al Thumama Stadium

• Sun, Nov. 27, 2:00 p.m.

  :  Spain vs. Germany, Al Bayt Stadium

• Thu, Dec. 1, 2:00 p.m.

  : Spain vs. Japan, Khalifa International Stadium

GK: Unai Simon

According to rumors, De Gea won't be included in Spain's World Cup squad because the team appears to have found a more suitable replacement. Unai Simón was a member of Luis Enrique's 24-man UEFA Euro 2020 roster.

He kicked off each of the team's contests. After a 1-1 draw and a penalty shootout, Spain defeated Switzerland to advance to the semifinals, and for his efforts, he was also named the game's MVP.

Simón was also selected for the postponed 2020 competition in Japan by the Spanish Olympic squad. They made it to the championship game but lost to Brazil with Simón as the starting goalie. Due to his great record, Simon may have proved to be the best keeper Spain has to offer.

RB: Dani Carvajal

was the first Real Madrid player selected by Spain coach Luis Enrique since March. He was recalled to the team for the World Cup qualifying matches against Greece and Sweden.

Injuries prevented right-back Carvajal from playing for most of last season; he only made 15 appearances across all competitions. He also missed Spain's run at the European Championship.

In his last three teams, including the one at the Euros where Spain advanced to the quarterfinals, Luis Enrique has not included any members of the 13-time European Champions Real Madrid. Dani, however, might be the exception and make the World Cup starting eleven.

CB: Eric Garcia

Garcia, a former member of the Manchester City junior team, has emerged as the most recognizable representative of this risk-taking, particularly among Madrid-supporting fans. Barcelona values him for his willingness to advance quickly up the field to recover the ball as soon as feasible.

Garcia has made mistakes, but Luis Enrique has maintained his trust, and no one anticipates him to do so at this time. According to a source close to the Spain team, "All the arguments and debates concerning Eric, but Luis Enrique is not going to change his opinion."

CB: Aymeric Laporte

Enrique said: "[Aymeric] Laporte is already recovered and working out with his club." According to reports, Laporte of Manchester City will rejoin the team, while players like Sergio Ramos and Thiago Alcantara are still on the outside looking in.

LB: Jordi Alba

, a standout for Spain, was praised over Luis Enrique after La Roja qualified for the 2022 World Cup. He gives opportunity to everyone and is a fair coach. Alba appears to be more than happy to play for Enrique, who will also give him a chance to be a starting eleven-star for Qatar.

CM: Sergio Busquets

The game's secrets are all known to

One of the best central midfielders of his time, the Spain and Barcelona veteran has unmatched football intellect combined with technical skill. In the absence of a huge shock, Busquets will be the only member of the class of 2010 chosen for Luis Enrique's squad for Qatar 2022.

That golden generation is now part of La Roja's history. Even while that new-look group still lacks championships, jewels like Pedri and Gavi have given it fresh life. Busquets is a major player in that generational shift as an indisputable starter and team captain.

DM: Koke

After suffering a thigh injury in 1-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao,

would only have a few weeks to recuperate before the World Cup in Qatar.

Atletico confirmed on Monday that Koke had begun physical treatment and rehabilitation sessions; however, they did not specify when he would be able to play again. According to reports in the Spanish media, Koke would be out for three weeks.

CM: Pedri

Pedri has established himself as a crucial player for Barcelona and has already earned 12 senior international caps.

He has developed a strong rapport with Robert Lewandowski, a recent addition to Barcelona who has scored eight goals in six games and helped Xavi's team start LaLiga without a loss.

Pedri's performance will undoubtedly be recognized, and Enrique's team will start him in the first eleven.

RW: Ferran Torres

Barcelona's top signing in the January transfer window of the previous campaign was Ferran Torres. He joined the team from Manchester City and swiftly established himself as Xavi Hernández's indisputable starter.

But lately, he's been out of touch. However, given La Roja's dearth of strikers, He aspires to be a frequent starter alongside Luis Enrique in the World Cup. It might give his career the boost it needs.

CF: Alvaro Morata

one of the more experienced members of the Spain team, will most likely be leading the attack in Qatar.

The 30-year-old has returned to Atletico Madrid, where he formerly played, and has already scored four goals in seven games for the national team in 2022. He also scored three goals during the qualification campaign.

With 57 appearances and 27 goals overall, he shares sixth place with Fernando Morientes among Spain's all-time leading goal scorers; three more goals would move him beyond both Morientes and Fernando Hierro and into fifth place.

Morata spent the previous two seasons on loan at his former club

, where he scored 32 goals in 92 outings across all competitions. Morata is most known in England for the failed three years he spent on Chelsea's roster. With five goals in his first 12 La Liga games, he has continued this trend into the 2022–23 season.

He struggled in his first season at Chelsea, which cost him a spot in the World Cup squad for 2018. Despite this, he scored six goals in 10 games for both Euro 2016 and Euro 2020, and given that he will be getting close to 33 by the time of the next World Cup, the striker will be determined to make an impression.

LW: Pablo Sarabia

La Roja defeated Greece in Athens and won all three points thanks to Pablo Sarabia's first-half penalty. By winning 1-0, Luis Enrique's team surpassed Sweden to finish the day atop Group B of the World Cup Qualifying. He will undoubtedly be included in the starting eleven for the World Cup due to his success in the qualifying rounds.
