Currently, Luis de la Fuente\u2019s squad tops Group E after two convincing victories last month, including a resounding 6-0 rout of Turkey and a 3-0 win over Bulgaria. Georgia, meanwhile, sits in second place. They responded well to a narrow 3-2 defeat by Turkey by bouncing back with a 3-0 triumph over Bulgaria.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spain team news<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A few key absences are hampering Spain\u2019s preparations. For instance, teenage sensation Lamine Yamal is out while he recovers from a pubic injury. This will sideline him for another two to three weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Defensive prospect Dean Huijsen has also withdrawn from camp due to muscle fatigue. As a result, the team has called up Athletic Bilbao\u2019s Aymeric Laporte as cover. Additionally, influential midfielder Rodri remains sidelined, and the coaching staff omitted Fabi\u00e1n Ruiz due to a minor issue. However, Spanish officials have emphasised that these exclusions are purely precautionary.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these setbacks, the manager has assembled a robust 26-man squad. It blends seasoned names with rising stars, and Unai Sim\u00f3n remains the established number one in goal. This strong squad will look to continue Spain\u2019s stellar 2025 form. In fact, the team is unbeaten in regular play all year. Their only blemish was a penalty shootout loss to Portugal in the Nations League final.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spain predicted lineup<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Spain predicted XI:<\/strong> Simon; Porro, Le Normand, Cubarsi, Cucurella; Pedri, Merino, Zubimendi; Olmo, Oyarzabal, F Torres<\/p>\n<p><strong>When is the match?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The match will kick off at 7:45pm BST on Saturday, 11th October.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to watch Spain vs Georgia?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>UK fans can catch the Spain vs Georgia clash live via Amazon Prime Video, with the match available on a pay-per-view basis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Read Also \u2013\u00a0<a title=\"Keane names ideal Amorim replacement for Manchester United\" href=\"https:\/\/thefootballfaithful.com\/roy-keane-ideal-amorim-replacement-manchester-united-diego-simeone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Keane names ideal Amorim replacement for Manchester United<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>See More \u2013\u00a0<a title=\"Salah Double Seals Egypt\u2019s Place at 2026 World Cup\" href=\"https:\/\/thefootballfaithful.com\/salah-double-seals-egypts-place-at-2026-world-cup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Salah Double Seals Egypt\u2019s Place at 2026 World Cup<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to our social channels:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FootyFaithful\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thefootballfaithfuldotcom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FootyFaithful_\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCUgN0WQEhxRbfTdlbkEG7zQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spain is set to take on Georgia at the Estadio Mart\u00ednez Valero in Elche on Saturday evening.
