Luis de la Fuente’s heavily rotated Spain side concluded their international break with a frustrating 0-0 draw against Egypt at the RCDE Stadium in Barcelona.
Spain struggled to find their rhythm on Tuesday night, playing out a goalless draw against fellow World Cup qualifiers Egypt.
Manager Luis de la Fuente made ten changes to his lineup, leaving the team “not able to make their appearances count” during a disjointed first half.
Despite second-half improvements following the introduction of Rodri and Pedri, Spain could not bypass Egypt’s inspired goalkeeper, Mostafa Shobeir.
The stalemate provided a final look at fringe players fighting for a spot in the upcoming tournament.
Victor Muñoz impressed as a substitute, while Alejandro Grimaldo struck the crossbar late on after Egypt’s Hamdi Fathi was sent off.
With the World Cup approaching, the performance raised questions about Spain’s depth, particularly as they await the recovery of key starters like Nico Williams from injury.
