Sergio Ramos has been left out of Spain’s squad for Euro 2020, with manager Luis Enrique opting to select no Real Madrid players in his 24-man squad.

But he has had a campaign riddled with injuries and only made 21 appearances in all competitions for Real Madrid this term, including 15 LaLiga games.
When he has played, such as in Real’s 2-0 defeat to Chelsea in the Champions League semi-final second leg, he has looked rusty and off the pace.

“I called him yesterday [Sunday] – it was hard, difficult.
