Spain manager Luis Enrique has suggested that he left Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea out of his latest squad announcement because he does not suit their style of play.
De Gea was a glaring omission from the 23-man squad that was announced to face Albania and Iceland in upcoming international friendlies over the international break later this month. Naming three goalkeepers in his squad, Enrique has handed a first call-up to Brentford shot-stopper David Raya.
Raya, who has never represented Spain at any level, has gone from strength-to-strength in recent years and has kept five clean sheets in 15 games in his debut Premier League season this term. Regularly linked with Arsenal last summer, the Brentford goalkeeper is renowned for his passing ability and being able to act as a sweeper keeper.
