Peru test

FIFA World Cup: Spain's preparations for the FIFA World Cup enter a crucial phase as Luis de la Fuente's side travel to Mexico for their final warm-up match against Peru on Monday before opening their campaign against Cabo Verde on June 15.

The Spanish squad left for Puebla on Sunday after arriving at their World Cup base in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on Friday. The match presents an additional challenge, with Puebla located around 2,100 metres above sea level, leaving Spain little time to acclimatise to the high-altitude conditions.

De la Fuente is expected to field a line-up close to the one he plans to start in Spain's World Cup opener. Several key players, including Mikel Oyarzabal, Pedri, Rodri, Pau Cubarsi, Marcos Llorente and Marc Cucurella, were rested during Thursday's 1-1 draw against Iraq and are expected to feature against Peru.
