Spain coach Luis Enrique said Ramos' lack of play recently made it difficult for the defender to be included in the Euro 2020 squad. "He will not be with us because he couldn’t compete during large parts of the season, he couldn’t even practice with his club," Luis Enrique said. Luis Enrique said he told Ramos about his decision in a phone call on Sunday. Ramos would have had a chance to break the record for most appearances for a national team at Euro 2020. "His call-up has nothing to do with Ramos not being able to play," Luis Enrique said about Laporte.
