David de Gea is DROPPED by Spain despite his impressive form for Manchester United this season as Luis Enrique replaces the goalkeeper with Brentford star David Raya for upcoming friendlies against Albania and Iceland

Spain coach Luis Enrique dropped David de Gea and included Brentford goalkeeper David Raya on Friday in the squad for upcoming friendly matches against Albania and Iceland.

De Gea played the entirety of Manchester United's 1-0 defeat against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday night, a result which dumped them out of the Champions League at the last-16 stage.

He was Spain's starter at a disappointing 2018 World Cup, where they crashed out in the round of 16, before becoming backup to Unai Simon, who helped them reach the semi-finals of the European Championship last year.
