​EURO2016: Chelsea's Pedro unhappy at bench role for Spain

Spain winger Pedro claims being asked to sit on the bench at Euro 2016 is a waste of his time.

The 28-year-old has played less than 10 minutes so far in the tournament, coming on during the late stages of La Roja's 1-0 win over the Czech Republic.

"I had different expectations when I first came here," he said in an interview with Movistar, quoted in Marca.

"It is difficult for me to play this role (as a substitute), and if there is no continuity it is not worth me turning up just to be part of the group."
