Rodri, Carvajal return for Spain World Cup qualifiers

Saturday Star

August 30, 2025

SPAIN named Rodri and Dani Carvajal in their squad yesterday for upcoming World Cup 2026 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Turkey.

Both players returned to action for their clubs at the Club World Cup after being absent with long-term knee injuries.

Spain visit Bulgaria on September 4 in their Group E opener, before travelling to Turkey on September 7.

Georgia are the other nation in the four-team group, with the winners progressing to the tournament next summer in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Manchester City midfielder Rodri helped lead Spain to Euro 2024 glory but was sidelined in September that year after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament, only making his return during the Club World Cup this summer.
