Spain is already preparing the first friendly before the European Championship. For the test against Andorra, Luis de la Fuente will not be able to count on Rodri or Dani Olmo, although none of them have serious injuries. Laporte, Carvajal, Nacho and Joselu, who finished the season with their respective clubs later in the season, will also be absent.

The Spanish national team travelled to Badajoz, where on Wednesday they take on Andorra in the first of two tests ahead of their participation in Euro 2024, with 23 players. Rodri Hernandez and Dani Olmo remained at the Ciudad del Futbol, adding to the absences of Aymeric Laporte, Dani Carvajal, Nacho Fernandez and Joselu Mato.
Spain coach Luis de la Fuente has ruled out Rodri and Dani Olmo for the first friendly and both players will complete a specific training plan on Wednesday. It will be a session that Laporte will also join after the extended leave due to finishing his campaign with Al-Nassr later in the day.
The decision of the coaching staff with the Manchester City midfielder is to take care of the physique of a key player in the scheme of Luis de la Fuente and who accumulates many games with the English team this season.
Dani Olmo, meanwhile, has not competed since 3 May, when he played his last Bundesliga game for RB Leipzig. He joined the Spanish national team training camp at the Ciudad del Futbol two days earlier to improve his physical condition and has been carrying some minor muscular discomfort, which is of no importance and which means he should not take any risks.
