Should Enrique Be In The Spanish Team?

Last updated : 14 November 2011 By Footy Mad - Editor

The 25-year-old has made an impressive start to his Anfield career following his £6m move from Newcastle United in the summer, starting every Premier League game so far.

The former Villarreal man, who has three U21 caps to his name, is yet to be rewarded with a senior cap for Vicente Del Bosque’s World and European Champions, with Valencia’s Jordi Alba and Malaga’s Nacho Monreal preferred for the latest squad.

Fabio Aurelio: “He is doing very well in England, first at Newcastle and now here, so he has shown he has the quality to do it.

“Spain don’t have a chosen left-back yet, so I think he could earn a chance to prove himself.

“He has adapted very, very quickly to the team and the dressing room.

"He is doing very well. Physically he is very strong and quick, so this has helped the team and helped him too on the pitch.”

"Magpies In Europe" is available NOW! It features match reports and individual features from Toon fans on the 60 'away' trips Newcastle have made in Europe. Sports Journalist Richie Everson: "At last a book that the fabulous Newcastle United fans can relate to. It's informative, all the facts and figures are there, plus the 120 match reports from all the fixtures ... but it is the articles by the supporters that amazed me. "I went to many of those games, and this is the only book I can honestly say 'hits the nail on the head'! "Yes we know the results and the scorers, but some of the facts in this book had me so wrapped up in it I couldn't put it down. "Was Benny Arentoft cup-tied when he played in the final? Big Wyn and his battle with John McGrath; McFaul scoring a penalty when the crowd had gone home; the trouble in Palermo; it is all amazing stuff. "I would honestly give this book 10 out of 10." The book is available NOW from THE BACK PAGE!
