Football News - Spain's Ramos disappointed by World Cup absence

Spain defender Sergio Ramos says he is disappointed to be left out of the World Cup squad after returning to full fitness after a calf injury limited his playing time at Paris Saint-Germain last season.


Spain coach Luis Enrique has announced his 26 - man squad for the World Cup in Qatar, opting to exclude experienced players such as Ramos, midfielder Thiago Alcantara , defender Marcos Aron Sole and goalkeeper David De Gea.

Ramos, 36 , who joined Paris Saint-Germain last year after 16 trophies at Real Madrid, has written a touching letter to fans after missing out on his fifth World Cup appearance.

Ramos wrote on Instagram : " I'm totally committed to recovering and getting back to the way I've always felt ... Luckily, I can say this season I'm back to being myself and enjoying football again. "

"The World Cup? Of course, it's one of those big dreams that I want to achieve. It would have been my fifth, but unfortunately I have to watch it at home, " Ramos said.


Pedri's Promise

Barcelona's talented young midfielder Pedelli has promised to shave his head if Spain wins a second World Cup in Qatar.

The 19-year-old is making his debut on the biggest stage in international football, and if his country advances, he will signal the moment by shaving his head. In addition, he said that playing football is his priority and declined to comment on any issues in the game.

Speaking to Marca, Pedri said: " If we win, I'll ask the barber to shave me or do something to me. We have a young team and they really want to perform well. And win. That's reflected on the pitch in every game we play. Rather than go against our youth, I think it's something that works for us. "
