Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea left out of Spain squad for international friendlies

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has been left out of the Spain squad for their upcoming international friendlies with Albania and Iceland.

Spain, who reached the semi-finals of the European Championship last summer, will continue their preparations for the 2022 World Cup with back-to-back home games against two sides who have failed to qualify for the tournament. However, Spain manager Luis Enrique has not included De Gea in his 23-man squad.

The United shot-stopper has been the Reds' standout player this term, in what has been a disappointing season for the club, producing a string of fine saves and performances. Despite that, he has only kept nine clean sheets in 37 games in all competitions.
