Newly-appointed Spain boss Luis de la Fuente has tipped Leeds United midfielder Marc Roca as a possible replacement for Sergio Busquets when the long-serving midfielder steps away from international duty.
Despite completing a £10 million move to Elland Road in July, Roca could not earn a place in Luis Enrique's squad for the, ultimately unsuccessful, FIFA World Cup campaign in Qatar.
Perhaps fortunately for Roca, Enrique's contract was not renewed by the RFEF after his side crashed out of the tournament on penalties to Morocco. de la Fuente has been named as his successor, being promoted from the nation's under-21 set-up.
