De la Fuente manages Spain's intense schedule

Spanish national team coach Luis de la Fuente is managing his squad carefully during an intense international window featuring four matches in ten days. The coach has been critical of the packed schedule and has already lost four players to injuries, forcing him to implement a unique rotation policy.

With the need to balance match results with player welfare, De la Fuente must carefully distribute minutes across his squad to ensure the team arrives at their final match with players at peak physical and mental condition. rocore.sbs
