Spain plans to travel with a 26-player roster for the World Cup, with additional players only joining if a specific type is needed. The goalkeeping situation is limited to three selections, despite interest in taking more. The three chosen goalkeepers are described as exceptional. Gavi’s inclusion is defended strongly after a difficult period away from football due to serious physical setbacks. His performances after returning to action in March are presented as convincing for the coaching staff. The midfielder is portrayed as having earned his opportunity rather than receiving it automatically.
""It's possible. Our plan is to call up 26 players, and then if we need a specific type of player, they'll join us. But the roster will consist of 26 players.""
""Three. I'd love to be able to take the five or six who've been with us, but the three we're taking are exceptional goalkeepers.""
""We haven't given Gavi anything for free. He's earned it. After two very long injuries and a hug""
