Manchester City will watch with interest to see if Rodri features for Spain over the international break, while Oscar Bobb remains sidelined with a fractured leg.
Bobb starred in Manchester City's Community Shield win and in pre-season but suffered a freak training ground injury on the eve of the season and is set for three to four months out. Pep Guardiola is hoping for the youngster to return before the New Year, but is preparing to have him ready in January after his lay-off.
Stale Solbakken said: “He has been in rehabilitation in Barcelona and has been followed up, everything is fine. I spoke with him on the phone 10 days ago, and he was surprisingly positive. He is counting down the days.” And Spain will assess his fitness ahead of Sunday's trip to Manu Akanji's Switzerland - he is suspended for their first clash with Serbia after UEFA handed him a one-match ban for his chants about Gibraltar during Spain's Euro 2024 celebrations.
