Spain Exclude De Gea, Sergio Ramos And Thiago From World Cup Squad

Ramos, 36, played a significant role in the Spain team that won the 2010 World Cup and hopes to compete in his fifth World Cup in Qatar.

Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara also missed out with the bouts of fitness issues he has had to suffer this season.

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea had earlier been excluded in Spain’s provisional squad, with Brighton’s Robert Sanchez and Brentford’s David Raya favoured ahead of him.
