Spain's Possible Lineup Against Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final

Luis de la Fuente is expected to have most of his key players available as Spain looks to capture a second World Cup title, although a pair of late fitness concerns remain ahead of the final against Argentina.

Spain chases a second World Cup crown

Spain is just 90 minutes away from making history once again.

After winning its first FIFA World Cup in South Africa in 2010, La Roja now has the opportunity to lift a second world title when it faces Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final this Sunday at New York New Jersey Stadium.

Luis de la Fuente's side heads into the championship match full of confidence after eliminating what many considered the tournament favorite.

How And Where To Watch: Spain vs Argentina

A semifinal performance full of confidence

Spain arguably produced its best performance of the World Cup by defeating France 2-0 in the semifinals.

La Roja controlled the match from start to finish, dominated possession, pressed aggressively and once again demonstrated why it has been one of the tournament's most complete teams.

Now, Spain will look to carry that momentum into the biggest match of the competition against the defending world champions.

Lamine Yamal and Pedro Porro remain fitness concerns

Spain's biggest concerns ahead of the final revolve around the health of two key starters.

Lamine Yamal missed one of the team's training sessions in New Jersey after suffering muscle overload in his thigh. While the issue is not expected to keep him out of the final, the young star is unlikely to be at full fitness.

Pedro Porro has also been carefully managed after picking up a muscular issue. The right back, who was one of Spain's standout performers against France, is expected to be available, but the coaching staff will monitor his condition until kickoff.
