The Barcelona midfielder, only 17, is part of the Nations League final four list

Gavi has been called up by Luis Enrique for his Spain squad for the Nations League final four. The Barcelona midfielder, 17, has played well this season and joins team-mates Pedri, Busquets and Eric Garcia on the list.

One Barcelona player who is not there is Jordi Alba, who is still not fit and Luis Enrique isn’t running risks with him, or Ansu Fati, just back from injury himself. 

Other surprises are Yeremi Pino, Marcos Alonso, Reguilon and Pedro Porro. Dropping out are Carlos Soler, Gaya and Alba.

Spain face Italy in the semi-final on October 6. This is the squad in full: 

Unai Simón, Robert Sánchez, David De Gea, César Azpilicueta, Pedro Porro, Eric García, Aymeric Laporte, Iñigo Martínez, Pau Torres, Sergio Reguilón, Marcos Alonso, Busquets, Rodri Hernández, Pedri, Merino, Koke, Gavi Páez, Ferran Torres, Sarabia, Oyarzabal, Fornals, Marcos Llorente, Yéremi Pino.
