Spain vs Argentina Confirmed Lineups & Team News for World Cup Final
Spain Team News
The focus will be on the health of both Nico Williams and Pedri. Pedri started most of the tournament matches but was only utilised for a 15 minute cameo against France. There were no indications that this was injury-related and could have been purely tactical, so he is likely fit. Williams is another case, at this point he may have missed any chance to start the final due to his niggling injuries as he’s been limited to just cameos so far.

Facundo Medina is the big absence for the nation, having started the tournament as the first-choice left-back he has missed the knockout phase for the most part. Veteran Nicolas Tagliafico has been able to deputise for him in his absence.
