Stand-in Spain boss Fernando Hierro is reportedly planning to drop David de Gea for his side’s World Cup last-16 tie against Russia.
The Manchester United goalkeeper made a high-profile error in La Roja’s opening-match draw with Portugal, allowing Cristiano Ronaldo’s shot to squirm through his grasp.
De Gea has looked short of confidence in the two games since, conceding two more in the 2-2 draw with Morocco that sealed top spot in Group B.
The 27-year-old is expected to be replaced by Athletic Bilbao keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga in Hierro’s starting lineup for the Russia match.
