Spain aiming to stay leaders with Ansu Fati in the side

The Barcelona forward is likely to start against Switzerland on Saturday night

Ansu Fati did not appear on Wednesday in the friendly against Portugal. Luis Enrique kept him rested and ready to face Switzerland and Ukraine in the Nations League. They paid the price - not scoring for the first time in 42 matches.

The last time was back in June 2016 against Italy, with Vicente del Bosque in charge of their Euros campaign.

Ansu will be back tonight and looking to keep his fine form going this season, both for club and country. 

Despite being 17, he's the star name in attack, likely to play on this occasion with Rodrigo Moreno and Ferran Torres.

Adama Traore could also feature after an impressive debut against Portugal. The Wolves forward gets on well with Ansu off the pitch and they speak the same footballing language. 

Spain are in Group A4 in the Nations League and have a draw with Germany and win over Ukraine under their belt. They are looking to stay top by winning these next two games, starting tonight at the Alfredo di Stefano.
