Real Madrid's left-back Álvaro Carreras has entered the preliminary list for the Spanish national team, in a move that reflects the careful monitoring the player receives from the coaching staff, especially in light of the performances he has delivered recently with his team.

Carreras' chances of being included in the final list have increased following the injury of Chelsea's left-back Marc Cucurella, as his potential absence has opened the door for new options to fill this position during the upcoming international break.

Carreras is currently the closest to receiving the official call-up to the Spanish national team's camp next March, although the final decision will remain linked to the developments in Cucurella's health condition and the duration of his absence from the field.

The Spanish national team is expected to play two matches during the upcoming international break against the Argentine and Egyptian teams, as part of preparations for the World Cup finals.
