In under two weeks\u2019 time, Spain will begin their defence of the UEFA Nations League title that they won last summer. Luis de la Fuente\u2019s side travel to Serbia on the fifth of September, before facing Switzerland \u2013 also away- three days later.<\/p>\n
La Roja have been in top form over the last 12-15 months, and this summer, they added the Euro 2024 title to their collection. They will fancy their chances of retaining the Nations League, although they will be without two key players for the match against Serbia.<\/p>\n
As per MD<\/a>, the Spanish Football Federation have opted not to appeal the one-match suspensions given to Alvaro Morata and Rodri Hernandez. The pair received suspensions from UEFA after their \u201cGibraltar is Spanish\u201d chants during Spain\u2019s Euro 2024-winning celebrations, after a complaint was filed by Gibraltar\u2019s Football Association.<\/p>\n It was a straightforward decision not to appeal, as it turns out. Morata is to miss the matches against Serbia and Switzerland<\/a> due to injury, while Rodri will be eased back into action for Spain<\/a>, as he\u2019s yet to play for Manchester City this season.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The post Spain pair to miss UEFA Nations League opener as no appeal launched against bans<\/a> appeared first on Football Espa\u00f1a<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In under two weeks\u2019 time, Spain will begin their defence of the UEFA Nations League title that they won last summer.
