Spain called the patch. Oviedo still sat him.
de la Fuente’s Czechia descartes left Espí off the 23. Senior minutes still zero. Mourinho still owns the club board.
English desks will keep filing Carlos Espí’s first senior Spain call. The graph is the 23 that never had him.
RFEF (3 Oct): Luis de la Fuente’s matchday descartes for Spain–Czechia at Carlos Tartiere were Pau Cubarsí and Carlos Espí. Cubarsí rested after the full 180 already played. Espí had been promoted after Ferran Torres’s left-ankle withdrawal and five U-21 goals at San Marino. He reached Oviedo late from the Sub-21 base in Ibiza and stayed off the 23. Roberto Fernández (Espanyol) took a forward slot, dorsal 17.
Spain won 3–1 (Yamal, Rodri, Merino 89′). Espí’s senior minutes are still zero. The next list is Split vs Croatia on Tuesday. A list is not minutes.
Club clock unchanged: about 26 Liga minutes, two late winners (Espanyol 90′, Elche 91′). A Spain camp is not a Villarreal XI on 10 Oct. Mourinho still picks the team. Mbappé’s Camp Nou clock is unchanged.
See what others miss.
