Topics:

The European title holders advance their preparations for the World Cup through fixtures versus Serbia on March 27 in Villarreal and then Egypt a few days afterwards.

The encounter with Serbia took over from the Finalissima against Argentina, which got scrapped because of the conflict in the Middle East. The match versus Egypt shifted to Barcelona from Qatar owing to the identical issue.

Garcia has featured in 35 games across various competitions this term after transferring to Barcelona from local competitors Espanyol.

He encountered a potential injury problem at the start of this week, getting substituted by Wojciech Szczesny towards the end of Barcelonas dominant 7-2 Champions League victory against Newcastle.

Arsenal centre back Cristhian Mosquera, Real Sociedad attacker Ander Barrenetxea, and Osasunas Victor Munoz all receive their initial invitations to the senior international setup.

Wide player Nico Williams remains sidelined due to injury, whereas Gavi sits out after just one short cameo for Barcelona following his recovery from a major knee problem.

Spain rank as one of the top contenders for the forthcoming World Cup across the United States, Mexico, and Canada, drawn in Group H opposite Uruguay, Cape Verde, and Saudi Arabia.
