Spain coach Luis Enrique has again ignored Real Madrid players for his latest World Cup qualifying squad.
Naming seven changes from his Euro 2020 squad, Luis Enrique handed a maiden call up to Valencia midfielder Carlos Soler and Braga striker Abel Ruiz.
There were also recalls for West Ham United‘s Pablo Fornals – who last played for the senior side in 2018 – and Villarreal captain Raul Albiol, who last represented Spain in 2019.
