Spain wield the axe and omit Euro-winning captain Alvaro Morata and Real Madrid star from their World Cup squad long-list - as ex-Chelsea star is told he's not even in the country's top 55 players

Spain manager Luis de la Fuente has reportedly omitted Euro-winning captain Alvaro Morata from the country's extended 55-player long-list for the upcoming World Cup. The former Chelsea and Real Madrid striker is not considered among Spain's top 55 players by the current coaching staff. The move marks a significant fall from grace for Morata, who captained Spain to their Euro 2024 title.
