Spain and Poland will have a common challenge when they meet on Saturday at the European Championship. Goals.

Spain created chance after chance against Sweden but was still held to a 0-0 draw in their opening match at Euro 2020. Poland lost to Slovakia 1-2 as Robert Lewandowski was held scoreless in yet another lacklustre performance at a major soccer tournament.

The focus for Spain at La Cartuja Stadium will be on Álvaro Morata, the striker singled out by fans and Spanish media for his misses against Sweden. He had also been ineffective in Spain’s warm-up match against Portugal, which ended 0-0.

Spain coach Luis Enrique will have to choose whether to keep the Juventus striker in the starting line-up or make a change to try boost the attack.

His other choices in attack include Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres, who started alongside Morata against Sweden, and Mikel Oyarzabal, Adama Traoré and Pablo Sarabia.

Busquets back

Spain will get their most experienced player back on Friday as the Spanish soccer federation said Sergio Busquets tested negative for Covid-19 on Thursday.

He will be allowed back with the team after being in isolation since testing positive on June 6.
