Garnacho seeking debut international goal
Garnacho scored his first goal of the season against Crystal Palace last week and is still awaiting his maiden international goal, which would do wonders for his confidence when it comes.
Lisandro Martinez was omitted from the squad due to his recent injury layoff. He is expected to miss around two to three months while he looks to finally recover from the metatarsal problem.
