Luis Enrique Calls Kepa Arrizabalaga For Spain's Euro 2020 Standby Squad

The Chelsea goalkeeper has joined the squad on Tuesday as a part of the team's standby players for the tournament.

Spain has added Kepa Arrizabalaga to their squad only a few days before Euro 2020 kicks off. The competition will commence on June 11.

Spain's coach Luis Enrique decided to call the former Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper after Sergio Busquets, who has been chosen as the captain for Euro 2020, tested positive for Covid-19 a few days ago.

Currently, Spain's whole 24-man squad chosen for the competition, including staff members, are in isolation. Thankfully, so far, other than Busquets, everyone has been tested negative for the virus.
