Spain coach Enrique to axe Laporte for Barcelona signing Garcia

Spain coach Luis Enrique is ready to go with Eric Garcia tonight against Slovakia.

La Roja need victory to be sure of reaching the Euro 2020 round of 16 and Okdiario's chief football pundit Eduardo Inda reports Barcelona signing Garcia could be a surprise starter.

He said on El Chiringuito, "I do not rule out that Eric García plays instead of (Aymeric) Laporte and (Alvaro) Morata has many signs of being a substitute."

Enrique also plans to hand Barca midfielder Sergi Busquets a start, with Manchester City's Rodri to be benched.
