Rodri set to start for Spain after one-match ban

The reigning Nations League champions will continue their journey on the second day of the competition with a visit to Switzerland. A date marked on the calendar by the return to action of Rodri Hernandez after serving a suspension.
With the chants about Gibraltar already forgotten, the midfielder is aiming for a starting place. A change that will come in handy for Luis de la Fuente after the 0-0 draw against Serbia. Not only because he feels he can take Martin Zubimendi's place, but also because of the results.
Rodri Hernandez steps on the pitch and Spain's statistics grow exponentially. In fact, ‘la Roja’ has not lost with their leader on the pitch since 28th March 2023. Scotland surprised with a 2-0 win thanks to Scott McTominay's brace.That was the turning point.
13 games later, 12 wins - 11 in a row - and a goalless draw in the Nations League final against Croatia. A 0-0 draw that was settled in the penalty shootout with the 4-5 in favour of the reigning champions of the competition.
His alarm bells went off in the final of Euro 2024, when he was substituted at half-time against England. The scare is over, the ban for chanting about Gibraltar is history and Spain are rubbing their hands together with the return of Rodri Hernandez. Balance is back.
