Pedro Porro has broken his silence after being left out of Spain’s provisional squad for the upcoming European Championships
‘s Spanish coach, Luis de la Fuente, has named a 29-strong squad including Manchester City midfielder Rodri, Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella and on-loan Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya ahead of Euro season summer in Germany
The provisional squad, which had to cut three players before the June 7 deadline, also included Barcelona youngsters Lamine Yamal, 16, and Pau Cubarsi, 17, as well as former Newcastle striker Ayoze Perez
However, there are some notable omissions, including Aston Villa’s Pau Torres, Paris Saint-Germain’s Marco Asensio and Tottenham’s Porro all being ruled out
And now, this guy has broken his silence on social media
In a post “Respect and admiration for all my colleagues who will defend our colors
From there I will have one more support person for the team and I hope we will have great fun
Come on guys
” Spain coach De la Fuente was named Luis Enrique’s successor in December 2022 after La Roja’s dismal World Cup loss to Morocco in the round of 16
He was led the country to victory in last year’s Nations League – their first international trophy since its heyday 11 years ago
Indeed, Spain won the Euros in 2008 and 2012, as well as the World Cup in 2010
But this time, they are in a relatively fragile group with Italy, the defending champions, Croatia and Albania
Spain’s opening match of the tournament will take place against Croatia in Berlin on June 15
Here is their full squad: Goalkeepers: Alex Remiro (Real Sociedad), David Raya (Arsenal on loan from Brentford), Unai Simon (Athletic Bilbao) Defenders: Aymeric Laporte (Al Nassr) , Robin Le Normand (Real Sociedad), Alex Grimaldo (Bayer Leverkusen), Dani Carvajal (Real Madrid), Dani Vivian (Athletic Bilbao), Jesus Navas (Sevilla), Nacho (Real Madrid), Cucarella (Chelsea), Pau Cubarsi ( Barcelona) Mikel Merino (Real Sociedad), Fabian Ruiz (PSG), Alex Baena (Villarreal), Martin Zubimendi (Real Sociedad), Rodrigo (Manchester City), Llorente (Athletico Madrid), Pedri (Barcelona), Garcia (Girona , on loan from Barcelona ), Fermin (Barcelona) Forwards: Alvaro Morata (Atletico Madrid), Dani Olmo (RB Leipzig), Joselu (Real Madrid on loan from Espanyol), Lamine Yamal (Barcelona), Mikel Oyarzabal (Real Sociedad) , Ayoze Perez (Real Betis), Ferran Torres (Barcelona), Williams JR (Athletic Bilbao)
The 24-year-old has continued to impress in his first full season at Tottenham, having originally joined the club on loan from Sporting CP last January before a £39million clause to make the move permanent was triggered in the summer.
Porro continued as a mainstay of the Spurs side under Ange Postecoglou, scoring four goals and providing seven assists in 37 appearances across all competitions as he missed only three Premier League matches in total.
Cucurella made only his second senior Spain appearance and first for almost three years against Brazil at the Bernabeu in March, having made his debut as captain in a friendly against Lithuania back in June 2021 after a Covid-19 outbreak saw Spain field an under-21 team for that match.
Cucurella is one of three Premier League-based players in Spain’s provisional Euros squad, alongside Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya and influential Manchester City midfielder Rodri, with no place either for the likes of 24-cap Aston Villa centre-back Pau Torres.
