Marc Bernal, a Barcelona midfielder, hopes to be included in Luis de la Fuente’s Spain squad for the World Cup 2026. He said representing a country is the best thing for a footballer. Bernal is not ruling himself out and plans to avoid making summer plans until the final squad list is announced on Monday. He expects Spain’s coach to include several Barcelona players. Fermin Lopez is expected to miss selection after surgery for a fractured metatarsal this week. Bernal’s optimism follows an impressive return from injury during the current season.
"“I would like to go there. Representing a country is the best thing for a footballer,” he told Catalunya Radio. “I'm not ruling myself out yet. For now, I'm not making any plans for the summer until the final list comes out on Monday.”"
"De la Fuente will announce his squad on Monday and Bernal has his fingers crossed after making an impressive return from injury this season. The Spain boss is expected to include a host of Barca stars but will be without Fermin Lopez after he underwent surgery on a fractured metatarsal this week."
