The strategist of the Spanish national team, Vicente Del Bosque, intends to give a chance to less experienced football players against Lithuania.
On Monday, the world champions arrive in Kaunas, where on Tuesday evening the European Championship qualifier match should take place. However, it is not yet clear whether it will be postponed due to the poor condition of the pitch - the decision should be made the day before the match or on the day of the match by the referee, in consultation with the UEFA delegate.
If the match goes as planned, Del Bosque plans to give a chance to defender Raul Albiol, midfielder Javi Martinez, and winger Juan Mata, who did not play against the Czech Republic on Friday. Andoni Iraola, David Silva, Fernando Llorente, and Fernando Torres should also take the field, while David Villa is likely to start on the bench, according to the Spanish newspaper AS.
The reason for the rotation is simple - in Granada against the Czechs, the Spaniards had to work hard to secure a 2-1 victory. In addition, many players representing the most powerful Spanish clubs - Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Villarreal, have already played nearly 50 matches this season, with the decisive stage of the season still ahead.
