Spain’s Coach Excludes Arsenal Defender Cristhian Mosquera from Squad
Spain’s national football coach, Luis de la Fuente, has decided not to include Arsenal’s Cristhian Mosquera in the latest team selection.
Captain of U21 Squad
Currently serving as the captain of Spain’s U21 team, Mosquera has yet to earn his first senior cap with La Roja. There are indications that the Colombian Football Federation is interested in securing his commitment.
Potential Shift in National Allegiance
Mosquera is eligible to represent Colombia through his parents, and the Colombian FA is reportedly attempting to entice him with the promise of a spot in the squad for the upcoming World Cup.
Player’s Ambitions
Despite his strong performances for Arsenal in the early stages of his career in England, Mosquera expressed,
I want to play for Spain, but if the wait becomes too long, I will consider other options.
Upcoming Matches
Amidst uncertainty, De la Fuente has decided to leave Mosquera out of the squad as Spain gears up for matches against Georgia and Turkey next week.
