Spain coach Lopetegui sends World Cup message to Chelsea striker Morata

Spain coach Julen Lopetegui has assured Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata after snubbing him for his latest squad.

Spain face Germany next Friday in Dusseldorf and then Argentina on March 27th at the Metropolitano.

"Tomorrow is not the World Cup, there are players that are not included but have their chances intact as is the case with the players included," said Lopetegui, before addressing former Real Madrid striker Morata's situation.

"We are looking to get more information about players, (Morata) has had several problems, he has played little but his chances are intact.

"Morata I am sure will have a great end to the season and will have a good chance of going to the World Cup."
