Spain captain Alvaro Morata has reportedly been omitted from Luis de la Fuente's extended 55-player World Cup squad. The 33-year-old striker, who led Spain to victory at the European Championship in 2024, has seen his dreams of lifting the World Cup crushed as he has been excluded from the international set-up ahead of this summer's tournament in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
