IN SUMMARY: Dani Carvajal wasn’t included in the preliminary list of the Spanish national team for the World Cup. Head coach Luis de la Fuente announced a expanded squad of 55 players. Carvajal’s name wasn’t on this list. Experts believe this decision marks the end of an era in the national team. Carvajal spent a significant portion of his career with Real Madrid, regularly being called up for qualifying matches and finals. However, the coaching staff preferred other candidates for the right wing position. The absence of this experienced defender from the 55-player squad has become a major topic of discussion among sports commentators. De la Fuente still needs to finalize the squad, but one thing is clear: Spain will be going to the World Cup without its longtime leader in defense, whose contributions to the team’s performance cannot be overstated.
