Del Bosque calms Spain’s 'keeper concerns amid pre-Euros struggles for De Gea & Kepa

Vicente del Bosque has sought to calm any concerns regarding Spain’s goalkeeper situation heading into this summer’s European Championships, with domestic issues being endured by David de Gea and Kepa Arrizabalaga shrugged off by a coach who knows what it takes to secure international honours.

La Roja, who tasted continental glory in 2008 and 2012, are in the process of piecing together their plans for a shot at major silverware this summer, with Luis Enrique having to settle on a selection that he believes can compete with the best in the business.

He has seen De Gea face more questions regarding his role at Manchester United this season, with a recent break taken in following the birth of his first child, while Kepa has slipped down the pecking order at Chelsea and out of the latest Spain squad.
