16-year-old Ansu Fati has taken Spain and the football world by storm. Despite his poor age, he has played an important role for Barcelona, scoring two goals and one assist in the league standings.
It has been speculated that Fati, who was born in Guinea-Bissau, could get a place in the Spanish A-national team squad after gaining Spanish citizenship in September.
But according to U21 captain Luis de la Fuente, Fati was unable to charge as he was not registered as a Spanish football player on time, the Reuters news agency writes.
But it is a strong squad that the Spanish team possesses. Led by players such as Sergio Ramos, Sergio Busquets and David de Gea, unbeaten Spain should continue the hunt for a European Championship.
First, Lars Lagerbäcks Norway awaits in Oslo on October 12. The Spaniards then stay in the Nordic countries to meet Sweden on October 15 at the Friends arena.
Spain tops the group with a maximum of 18 points in six rounds with four matches left to play, seven points ahead of the second Sweden.
