Juancho Gonzalez, the assistant coach of the Spanish national team, spoke about not fielding player Pedri in the starting lineup against Belgium.
The Spanish national team faces Belgium at "Los Angeles" Stadium in the round of 16 of the World Cup.
The events of the Spain vs Belgium match kick off at exactly ten o'clock in the evening today.
Gonzalez said in statements before the start of the match: "Pedri is fine, all players are ready to participate".
He added: "The matter is not related to Pedri but to Fabian Ruiz playing".
He continued: "Fabian Ruiz is going through a good period and will help us a lot, so we want to benefit from what he has shown recently with the national team".
He continued: "We always say that we have the best midfield in the world, and this is not only because of the presence of Rodri, Pedri, and Olmo, but because of the presence of other players like Fabian, Merino, Gavi, and Martin".
