Spain manager Luis Enrique has explained his decision not to call up Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea after Robert Sanchez pulled out of the squad.
The United keeper was a surprising omission from the La Roja squad for their two friendlies this month. Regular first-teamer Unai Simon maintained his place while Brighton star Sanchez and Brentford's David Raya were both selected ahead of De Gea.
United's No.1 hasn't featured for his national side since their 1-0 win over Ukraine in October 2020. Since then, he has been an unused substitute in both their European Championship and World Cup qualifying campaigns.
