Luis Enrique refuses to explain Jordi Alba snub
New Spain boss Luis Enrique was in no mood to discuss Jordi Alba’s omission from his squad during a press conference on Friday.
Lucho was fielding questions after announcing his squad for September games against England and Croatia.
Leaving Alba out was one of the main talking points, but the former Barcelona boss was giving very little away.
He was asked directly if he’d left Alba out for sporting reasons or because of the relationship between the two, and this was his answer.
“Good question...I refer to what I have said. It is normal, I anticipated that there would be surprises and from then on there will be more. It is very difficult to be a player of the national team.
