ALL CHANGE FOR SPAIN

-

9 ONLY nine players from Spain’s 23-man party at the World Cup are in Luis Enrique’s first squad to face England tonight. The survivors are De Gea, Carvajal, Azpilicuet­a, Ramos, Busquets, Rodrigo, Niguez, Isco and Asensio. 2 ENRIQUE has picked only two Barcelona players — Sergio Busquets and Sergi Roberto — despite spending 14 years at the Nou Camp as a player and coach. PS BUT Sergio Ramos is a model of consistenc­y. If he plays tonight the defender will win his 157th cap. Latvia’s Vitalijs Astafjevs, with 167, would be the only European outfield player to win more.
