Confirmed: Real Madrid duo start for Spain against Czechia

Confirmed: Real Madrid duo start for Spain against Czechia World champions Spain take on Czechia in the UEFA Nations League tonight, aiming to extend their perfect start in the competition, after having won four in four during the last international break. Ahead of kickoff in Prague, La Roja manager Luis de la Fuente has announced the starting lineup that will be taking the field against Santi Denia’s side. And, two Real Madrid players, Marc Cucurella and Dean Huijsen , feature in the lineup for the 2026 FIFA World Cup winners. Cucurella is a permanent fixture in the defensive line for De la Fuente at left-back and gets the nod in the lineup ahead of Atletico Madrid defender Alejandro Grimaldo. Meanwhile, Huijsen has earned a recall back to the Spain national team this season following a solid start to the season at Real Madrid after missing out on the World Cup. The Los Blancos starlet gets an opportunity to feature from the get-go tonight in Prague as Pau Cubarsi’s partner as Aymeric Laporte, who is De la Fuente’s preferred starter, misses out due to injury.
