Sergio Ramos has issued a last-gasp plea to Spain boss Luis Enrique to include him in the national squad for the first time in 18 months for the World Cup in Qatar.
The 36-year-old is La Roja’s most capped player of all time with 180 appearances for the Spain senior team, but none have come since early 2021 due to continued fitness setbacks. Ramos has not featured for Spain since leaving Real Madrid to join Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent last summer.
The talismanic central defender endured a difficult 12 months of fitness problems, coinciding with dropping out of the Spanish squad and struggling for regular football. However, he has enjoyed a resurgence of form and fortune in the French capital this campaign.
