PSG defender Sergio Ramos is reportedly 'extremely disappointed' to have missed out on Luis Enrique's Nations League squad, as Spain prepare to take on Switzerland and Portugal during the international break.
The Spanish boss left out the likes of Liverpool playmaker Thiago Alcantara and Barcelona youngster Ansu Fati in favour of a slightly more experimental squad, including uncapped newcomers Borja Iglesias and Nico Williams.
Ramos initially struggled with fitness issues following his move to Paris in July 2021.
According to Football Espana, the former Real Madrid star is said to be 'extremely disappointed' with his Nations League snub, having shown signs of improvement at the start of this season.
The Spaniard has started 10 out of Paris Saint-Germain's 11 games in all competitions, scoring once and keeping six clean sheets.
The French champions are reportedly plotting to offer the 36-year-old a new extension following his return to form, aware that he is out of contract next summer.
Ramos remains hopeful of winning back Enrique's favour ahead of the World Cup in Qatar next month.
The 52-year-old manager told Sport: 'The [door] is not closed to any Spanish player that is available for selection.
'I don't know the percentage of these players which will be at the World Cup. You want 80%? Well 80%… I don't know…
'It is great news that Sergio Ramos can return to the pitch after a year-and-a-half out due to injuries. Now he is doing so in a continuous way.
'I can say to you what you want, but I think I have called the best players in his position. The rest, white smoke.'

the problem is that if Ramos goes back. that means the coach will have to change Busquets as his captain 💯 of which I don't think Enrique wants that.
