BERLIN (Reuters) -Spain coach Luis de la Fuente made two changes to his starting side for Sunday's Euro 2024 final against England who have made one switch to their team.

After missing Spain's semi-final win over France, defenders Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand return from suspension in place of Nacho and Jesus Navas.

Attacking midfielder Dani Olmo will make his second consecutive start after Pedri sustained a knee injury during the quarter-final win over hosts Germany.

Olmo netted a goal and made an assist to help Spain beat the Germans and scored the winner against France.

England manager Gareth Southgate, as expected, brought in Luke Shaw at left back for Kieran Trippier, who he replaced at halftime in their semi-final victory over the Netherlands.

Teams:

Spain: Unai Simon; Dani Carvajal, Aymeric Laporte, Robin Le Normand, Marc Cucurella; Rodri, Fabian Ruiz; Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Nico Williams; Alvaro Morata (c)

England: Jordan Pickford; Kyle Walker, Marc Guehi, John Stones, Luke Shaw; Declan Rice, Kobbie Mainoo, Bukayo Saka; Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, Harry Kane (c).
