France are looking to see off Spain and claim their second international trophy of the Deschamps eraCredit: AFPSpain vs France: Team newsFrance have several members of the Paris Saint-Germain squad in their team.

Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola, Warren Zaire-Emery and Lucas Hernandez are all in their ranks.

However, it’s unclear how many of them will be involved after helping PSG become champions of Europe for the first time.

Inter Milan’s Marcus Thuram and Benjamin Pavard might also have limited involvement.

Spain have called up new Real Madrid centre-back Dean Huijsen, and he could start.

Barcelona star Lamine Yamal will no doubt be involved on the right with Fabian Ruiz the only one who might not play.

He said: “We have in this tournament the three previous winners of the Nations League, three previous World Cup winners and a previous EURO winner.

“So you certainly can’t call it a minor tournament, and we place huge importance upon it.

“I’ve always said since I arrived that this tournament is actually more difficult than the EURO in the group stage. We’ll give it everything, and we want to make history by becoming the first team to win the Nations League twice.

“We will keep competing at the highest level against these teams that could easily be in a World Cup final or another major final tomorrow.”

“They also may have a few players who are fresher. But still, my team always have the ability to maintain a strong collective and technical rhythm.

“But that doesn’t mean we’ll be approaching this match waving the white flag.”
