Spain have announced their 26-man squad for the World Cup in Qatar, with the key revelation being that defender and international regular Cesar Azpilicueta is the only Chelsea player selected by Luis Enrique.
Kepa Arrizabalaga and Marc Cucurella have been omitted from the squad who were in contention ahead of the confirmation after regularly featuring for Chelsea so far this season.
Although this will be a blow for the players, it offers an unexpected boost for Graham Potter following the international break when Chelsea returns to Premier League action on the 27th of December against Bournemouth.
