With his first squad selection as Spain boss hotly anticipated, it appears Julen Lopetegui may leave out Porto goalkeeper Iker Casillas.
Following another poor showing at Euro 2016, Vicente Del Bosque stepped down after eight years in charge, winning the World Cup in 2010 and European Championship in 2012, with Casillas at the heart of both triumphs.
But despite being in charge of the Dragoes when the 35-year-old joined last summer, Lopetegui may finally cut the chord between Casillas and La Roja as he looks to make his own mark on the side.
A number of players who made up the spine of the country's most-successful ever side, including David Villa, Xavi Hernandez and Xabi Alonso, retired following the World Cup in 2014, and many expected Casillas to follow suit.
A rivalry for the number one shirt with David de Gea has been sparked since, but it now appears the Real Madrid legend's time could be up, having made his debut back in 2000./ShikoNews
