Samu Omorodion's Stellar Season Spurs His Spain Call-Up

Spain's national football team has recognized the outstanding performances of Samu Omorodion, calling up the 20-year-old striker for their Nations League confrontations with Denmark and Switzerland. Omorodion, whose form at Porto has been nothing short of remarkable, earned this opportunity after a prolific season start, netting 11 goals in as many appearances.

Meanwhile, in the continuity of Barcelona's storied midfield tradition, 21-year-old Marc Casado has proven his worth by filling the considerable gap left by injured Barcelona players. His consistent performances have secured him a spot in the national lineup, highlighting his pivotal role at Barcelona.

In contrast, young Pau Cubarsi will not make an appearance after a Champions League injury ruled him out, with Aitor Paredes stepping into the squad. Despite already advancing to the quarter-finals, Spain is determined to finish at the top of their group as they sit three points ahead of Denmark.
