Brighton keeper Sanchez not thinking about England after Spain call-up

Brighton goalkeeper Roberto Sanchez has played down talk of an England call.

The 25-year-old has been called up by Spain for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Greece, Georgia and Kosovo.

Sanchez is able to play for England, but insists he is solely focused on La Roja.

He told Radio Marca in Spain: "There were rumours about the England squad.

"I prefer to concentrate on Spain. I don't want to say much about it.

"At the moment I have only got a Spanish passport although, working in England for more than five years, I can get one here as well."
