Sergio Ramos is the great absent in the squad of the squad of the selection of Spain for Euro 2020. Luis Enrique abdicated of the Spanish captain, central defender of Real Madrid, who participated in four World Cups and three Europeans.
According to the Spanish coach, Sergio Ramos was not in physical condition to compete in the competition: «He cannot compete or train. I called you yesterday, it was difficult and hard. He helps the selection a lot and can do it again in the future, but I look for the benefit of the group. He told me to recover well to play for his club and the national team. »
Since the beginning of 2021, Sergio Ramos has only played five games for Real Madrid: two in January, followed by a two-month absence, another two in March and the last on May 5, in the Champions League semi-finals, against Chelsea.
The central defender was operated on in January 2021 to tackle a problem with the internal meniscus of his left knee. He returned in March but, on April 1, he had a muscle injury in the inner twin of his left leg. On 8 May, after the game against Chelsea, Real Madrid reported that Sergio Ramos was injured in a tendon in the knee cap of his left leg.
In Luis Enrique’s 24-man squad, there is no room for Real Madrid players, something that the coach devalues. «If Carvajal and Sergio Ramos were well, they would have come. I don’t make the list because of that », guarantees the technician.
Pedro Porro (Sporting) was also not called, while Aymeric Laporte (Manchester City), who was born in France and represented the Gallic team in the youth team, makes his debut for Spain.
List of called:
Net guard: Unai Simón, David de Gea and Robert Sánchez;
Defenders: José Gayàm Jordi Alba, Pau Torres, Laporte, Eric Garcia, Diego Llorente, Azpilicueta and Marcos Llorente;
Midfielders: Sergio Busquets, Rodri, Pedri, Thiago Alcántara, Koke and Fabián Ruiz;
