The Manchester United star has been trusted to line up in goal for the reigning European champions in their first clash of Euro 2016 on Monday
David De Gea has replaced Iker Casillas in the Spain starting XI for their opening game of Euro 2016 against Czech Republic.
Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has used both De Gea and Casillas in the run up to the competition, though it is the former Real Madrid and current Porto shot stopper who has been relied upon most often.
The reigning European champions' preparations for the tournament have been marred due to De Gea's alleged involvement in an ongoing sex case which he has strongly denied.
