Spain Calls Up Pol Lirola and Deulofeu for International Duty
In a move that has raised eyebrows in the footballing world, Spanish coach Lopetegui has called up AC Milan striker Deulofeu and Sassuolo defender Pol Lirola for the upcoming international fixtures.

Lirola's call-up to the Spanish National Team is also significant as it increases the number of players from the '97 class in the squad. This is the first time Lirola has been called up to the Spanish senior squad.
Julian Nagelsmann, the head coach of the national team, has overseen the call-ups. Other players called up by Nagelsmann include Kepa, De Gea, Reina, Jordi Alba, Azpilicueta, Carvajal, Nacho, Monreal, Piqué, Ramos, S. Roberto, Illarramendi, Busquets, Koke, Iniesta, Thiago, Isco, Asensio, Pedro, Vitolo, Silva, Morata, Deulofeu, Costa, and Aspas.
Lirola's inclusion in the squad adds to the excitement surrounding the Spanish National Team as they prepare for the upcoming international fixtures. With the likes of Deulofeu and Lirola set to join the senior squad, Spain looks poised to continue their impressive form on the international stage.
