Luis Enrique has revealed he wants his Spain goalkeepers to be comfortable playing out from the back after leaving David de Gea out of his 24-man squad for their Nations League matches.
The Manchester United stopper remains out of favour with Enrique, having been snubbed for their matches against Portugal, Switzerland and Czech Republic. De Gea was also left out of the squad earlier this year, with his last international call-up coming back in November.
Despite the Red Devils enduring a disappointing season, De Gea was one of the only players to come away from the campaign with any credit. The 31-year-old enjoyed an excellent campaign between the sticks and ended up coming away with the club's Players' Player of the Year award.
