Euro 2020: Aymeric Laporte named in Spain squad,Ramos left out

Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte has been named in Spain's Euro 2020 24-man squad after switching allegiance from France to Spain but Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos misses out.

Laporte is one of 10 players from the Premier League picked by Enrique, including Brighton keeper Robert Sanchez, Leeds United defender Diego Llorente and Wolves forward Adama Traore.

Real Madrid center back Ramos has played just one game since the end of March due to injuries.

He last played for Spain in the World Cup qualifiers in March when he was substituted during a draw with Greece and came on late in a win over Kosovo.

His only appearance for Real Madrid since then came in a Champions League semi-final second-leg defeat by Chelsea on 5 May, only his fifth for the Bernabeu club this year.

Enrique could have picked a 26-man squad instead of the usual 23 after Uefa brought in the change to lessen the load on players after a club season compressed because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Spain squad:

Goalkeepers: Unai Simon (Athletic Bilbao), David de Gea (Manchester United), Robert Sanchez (Brighton)

Defenders: Jose Gaya (Valencia), Jordi Alba (Barcelona), Pau Torres (Villarreal), Aymeric Laporte (Manchester City), Eric Garcia (Manchester City), Diego Llorente (Leeds), Cesar Azpilicueta (Chelsea)

Midfielders: Sergio Busquets (Barcelona), Rodri (Manchester City), Pedri (Barcelona), Thiago Alcantara (Liverpool), Koke (Atletico Madrid), Fabian Ruiz (Napoli), Marcos Llorente (Atletico Madrid)

Forwards: Dani Olmo (RB Leipzig), Mikel Oyarzabal (Real Sociedad), Alvaro Morata (Juventus), Gerard Moreno (Villarreal), Ferran Torres (Manchester City), Adama Traore (Wolves), Pablo Sarabia (Paris St-Germain)
