Spain enter the tournament with three goalkeepers — Raya, Simón, and Joan García — and de la Fuente’s selection will hinge on Raya’s impressive form in both the Premier League and Champions League. Although Simón has historically been preferred, Raya’s performances have made a strong case for him to be Spain’s first choice if he is given the nod. Rooney’s prediction adds another voice to the growing expectation that Raya could shine at the World Cup, especially if Spain goes deep into the tournament.
Key Takeaways:
– David Raya is a leading World Cup candidate for Spain and Rooney predicts he could win the Golden Glove.
– Raya’s season status as a top performer for Arsenal strengthens Spain’s decision-making, despite De la Fuente’s evolving stance.
– Spain’s goalkeeping options include Raya, Simón, and García, with ongoing debate over the starting goalkeeper.
