Team news
Spain
Lamine Yamal and Pedro Porro trained separately earlier in the week, but the Spanish federation described the measures as precautionary workload management. Yamal has been managing bruising and general soreness, while Porro has experienced muscle tightness; both are expected to be available. The remainder of the Spanish squad reportedly has a clean bill of health.
Luis de la Fuente is expected to retain the team that controlled France. Fabián Ruiz has recently been preferred alongside Rodri, leaving Pedri as a high-quality option from the bench, while Álex Baena is currently ahead of the recently returned Nico Williams on the left.
Argentina
Argentina have reported no significant new injury concerns following their semifinal victory over England. Lionel Scaloni nevertheless has several selection decisions to make after Gonzalo Montiel, Giuliano Simeone, Nicolás González and Lautaro Martínez made influential contributions from the bench.
Montiel could replace Nahuel Molina at right-back, while Lautaro is pushing Julián Álvarez after scoring Argentina’s semifinal winner. Messi is certain to start and will be central to Argentina’s attempt to secure a fourth world title in what could be his final World Cup appearance.
