The Spain squad for their upcoming friendlies against Germany (Friday March 23 – Dusseldorf) and Argentina Tuesday March 27 – Wanda Metropolitano, Madrid) has been announced today (March 16, 2018), and coach Julien Lopetegui has sprung a few surprises after choosing to leave out Chelsea’s Alvaro Morata and Barcelona’s Sergi Roberto. Diego Costa, whose spot at Chelsea was effectively taken by Morata, was however picked in the squad.
The Spanish roster also has no place for domestic players like Espanyol’s Gerard Moreno and Sevilla’s Pablo Sarabia. Lopetegui also insisted that the door was not closed on World Cup selection for those who missed out on this squad.
Spain squad vs Germany & Argentina 2018:- De Gea, Kepa, Reina, Jordi Alba, Marcos Alonso, Nacho, Carvajal, Azpi, Odriozola, Sergio Ramos, Gerard Pique, Isco, Thiago Alcantara, David Silva, Andres Iniesta, Saul Niguez, Dani Parejo, Koke, Rodri, Asensio, Aspas, Rodrigo, Diego Costa, Lucas Vazquez
Joshua Kimmich has been named German player of the Year for 2017. The versatile 22 year old Bayern star won an online poll conducted by the national football association, picking up 45.3% of the votes (23,904 out of 52,761). PSG’s Julian Draxler was second, while goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen was third. The poll was among the 11 players who had maximum playing time for the German national football team during the year. Given that Germany sent a relatively young team to the Confederations Cup, this meant that the likes of Jerome Boateng, toni Kroos and Mesut Ozil were NOT in the shortlist.
Ozil is the holder of the German player of the year award, winning it in 2016 and 2015.
