The match is set to kick off at 9:45 PM local time, or 10:15 PM Cairo time. De la Fuente has opted for a mix of experienced players and young talent in his starting XI.
In goal for Spain will be Unai Simon, while the defense will be marshaled by Eric Garcia, Pau Cubarsi, and Aymeric Laporte, with Marcos Alonso and Marc Cucurella providing defensive support. The midfield will feature Rodri and Fabian Ruiz, who will provide defensive cover and support to the attack. Dani Olmo will also start in midfield, providing creativity and flair.
The attacking trio for Spain will be Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, and Ferran Torres.

De la Fuente's selection suggests that he is looking to adopt an attacking approach against England.
