After a fiery first Nations League semi-final last night between Germany and Portugal, this time it’s the turn of Spain and France to battle it out and secure their place in the final.

These two giants of international football met only last year, in the semi-final of Euro 2024 in Germany, with the Spaniards coming out on top 2-1 and later proceeding to win the trophy against England in the final.

The encounter is set to take place at the MHPArena in Stuttgart, with the winner taking on Portugal, who beat the home nation 2-1 at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday evening.

La Roja will be aiming to defend their Nations League title, after winning the competition in 2023, whereas Didier Deschamps’ side will hope to repeat the form that won them the trophy back in 2021.

Spain v France team news

Luis de La Fuente has some decisions to make, especially at centre-back, with Robin Le Normand being a favourite of the Spanish coach, however the impressive seasons of youngsters Dean Huijsen and Pau Cubarsi might convince him to pair them up in the semi-final.

Fabian Ruiz will likely feature, fresh off a Champions League final win with PSG, while Rodri and Dani Carvajal remain unavailable.

Aymeric Laporte, Ayoze Perex and Ferran Torres are also out.

Deschamps has the pick of seven players who were involved in the Champions League final last weekend, including the likes of Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue and Marcus Thuram.

The French squad is missing a few first-choice defenders, with Jules Kounde, Dayot Upamecano and William Saliba all not able to feature.

Eduardo Camavinga is also out, still struggling with a groin injury he sustained back in April.
