Casillas back in contention? How the De Gea sex case allegations are affecting Spain

The Manchester United goalkeeper has been hit by controversy at the start of Euro 2016 and may find himself benched against Czech Republic on Monday

COMMENT

It is a story that will not go away. The sex case allegations aimed at David De Gea have hit Spain ahead of their Euro 2016 kick-off on Monday and even though Vicente del Bosque says his team are focused only on the game against the Czech Republic, the reports remain an unwanted distraction for La Roja.

De Gea is at the centre of claims that he organised a party with a Spanish pornography baron in which a woman was sexually harrassed.
