  • Alvaro Morata's poor form at Chelsea has cost him his place in the Spain squad.

    Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata has been left out of the Spain squad for this month’s friendlies against Germany and Argentina.

    The 25-year-old has not scored for Chelsea in 2018 and started the Blues’ last three matches on the bench.

    Morata’s uncapped club colleague Marcos Alonso has been named in Julen Lopetegui’s 24-man squad for the two matches, while former Chelsea striker Diego Costa has been recalled.

    Barcelona‘s Sergi Roberto is the other notable snub, with the midfielder who can also play right-back left out of the squad despite some impressive recent performances.

    Spain face Germany in Dusseldorf on March 23 and Argentina four days later at Atletico Madrid’s Wanda Metropolitano stadium.
