Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has hit back at the Spain camp over criticism for Blues duo Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa. They withdrew from Spain's squad for a European Championship qualifier with Belarus and a friendly against Germany - citing hamstring and groin injuries.
It prompted Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos to say he would like players to show the same commitment to the national side as they do their club.
"Ramos is a fantastic player, but he is not a doctor," said Mourinho. "He is not a doctor and I am the same.
"My doctor and the Spanish national team doctor, they had the scans and decided the player was not in a fit condition to play. I don't think Sergio did a medicine masters in the last couple of years to understand it.
"Vincent Kompany played today for Man City, but he didn't play for Belgium (against Wales)," the Portuguese added. "He was injured. Okay?
"Did Leighton Baines play for Everton? No, he didn't but how many players were injured for the international teams and could recover one week later, doing his work at the club? Lots of them, lots of them.
"My doctor and the doctor of the Spanish national team, they had the scans and they decided that the player was not in the condition to play."
