Possibly Xavi Hernández did not like to hear that up to six of his players will start in Spain in their match against Switzerland. After the injuries to Koundé, Araújo and De Jong, any new inconvenience would be a serious setback for Barça.
Thus, Luis Enrique has bet with an eleven in which are Jordi Alba, Eric García, Busquets, Gavi, Pedri and Ferran Torres. In other words, half of the defense and the entire midfield is Barça.
The presence of Marco Asensio in the eleven is surprising. Firstly because he has hardly had any minutes at Real Madrid and secondly because his presence will mean that Spain does not play with a fixed striker, as he has been doing in recent games, and leaves Álvaro Morata on the bench.
The eleven from Spain to face Switzerland will be made up of Unai Simón, Azpilicueta, Eric García, Pau Torres, Jordi Alba, Busquets, Gavi, Pedri, Sarabia, Ferran Torres and Marco Asensio.
The eleven of Switzerland is as follows: Sommer; Widmer, Akanji, Elvedi, Ricardo Rodriguez; Xhaka, Freuler, Sow; Shaqiri, Vargas and Embolo.
