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.
