Spain coach Del Bosque explains overlooking Barcelona striker El Haddadi

Spain coach Vicente del Bosque says Barcelona teen Munir El Haddadi has done nothing wrong.

The young striker was overlooked by Del Bosque for his latest squad selection.

"We decided to call up Munir to cover after Costa's injury. Now we see him as another player with the under-21s who like the rest can come to us at any moment. But we also had to bear in mind that the under-21s are also playing for their own qualification."
