Spain coach Lopetegui: I have faith in Real Madrid midfielder Isco

Spain coach Julen Lopetegui says he hasn't lost faith in Real Madrid midfielder Isco.

Isco was named in Lopetegui's squad this week.

The Andalusian has played just 57 minutes of league football for Real Madrid this year and his place in the squad was considered to be at risk. His lack of playing time, however, has not deterred Lopetegui.

“Isco hasn't played much. It is worrying but I have faith in him and I know he can contribute a lot," said the coach on Friday morning following the announcement of the squad.
