Robert Sanchez WON’T get a chance to make his Spain debut ahead of Euro 2020.
Members of Luis Enrique’s squad are under lockdown after midfielder Sergio Busquets tested positive for Covid-19.
Spain have called in their under-21s to play a friendly against Lithuania at Leganes, which was due to have been the seniors’ final run out ahead of the tournament.
The senior squad are currently confined to their rooms at the Spanish FA’s base at Las Rozas, on the outskirts of Madrid.

Sanchez and his fellow squad members have been tested for Covid-19, with no additional positive cases yet reported.
The Albion keeper was today shown leaving the players' residence and heading for a test with Napoli's Fabian Ruiz.
Spain kick off their Group E fixtures next Monday against Sweden.
All three of their group games were moved from Bilbao to La Cartuja in Seville after the Basque city was unable to provide the necessary guarantees required by anti-Covid protocols.
