Luis de la Fuente has confirmed his starting XI for Spain U21s match against Macedonia. As expected, Riqui Puig starts and makes his official debut for the national side. He was never used in the younger age groups.
Riqui Puig is joined by Carles Aleña in midfield. The trio in the centre of the park is rounded off by Real Sociedad's Zubimendi.
The full XI: Josep Martínez; Pipa, Hugo, Clemente, Miranda; Zubimendi, Riqui Puig, Aleñá; Pozo, Andrés Martín y Dani Gómez.
