The Spanish national team has announced its squad numbers for the match against Serbia on matchday four of the Nations League. The only novelty is that Rodrigo Riquelme, from Atletico Madrid, inherits the number 10 that Lamine Yamal has left free on his return to Barcelona due to a muscle strain.

Rodrigo Riquelme will wear, against Serbia, in the Nations League match at the Nuevo Arcangel in Cordoba, the number 10 on his return to the Spanish national team, a number left free by Lamine Yamal due to injury.
The absence of Dani Olmo allowed Yamal to play for the first time with the ‘10’ on his back against Denmark in Murcia, but a muscle strain prevents the Barcelona winger from playing against Serbia.
Riquelme is given the jersey as Yamal's replacement without another player being able to choose him due to the obligation of the federations to give UEFA the full list before the first of the two Nations League matches. The Atletico Madrid midfielder has already played two official matches for the Spanish national team, in November 2023, against Cyprus and Georgia.

Spain's numbers against Serbia are as follows:
1. David Raya
2. Pedro Porro
3. Alejandro Grimaldo
4. Pau Torres
5. Dani Vivian
6. Mikel Merino
7. Alvaro Morata
8. Fabian Ruiz
9. Joselu Mato
10. Rodrigo Riquelme
11. Bryan Zaragoza
12. Oscar Mingueza
13. Alex Remiro
14. Aymeric Laporte
15. Pau Cubarsi
16. Alex Baena
17. Marc Cucurella
18. Zubimendi
19. Sergio Gomez
20. Pedri
21. Mikel Oyarzabal
22. Aleix Garcia
23. Robert Sanchez.
