Diary

Thursday, 12 March 2015 - According to reports in Spain, the RFEF are close to finalising the details for a friendly match on 14 November against England, dependent on both teams qualifying. The Marca reports that this game has been lined up as part of the deal struck between Europe's top footballing nations to take on one another during international weeks earmarked from friendlies. Barcelona's Nou Camp is a likely destination, having not hosted Spain since 1987, but the venue has to be finalised.

Monday, 7 September 2015 - RFEF have moved Spain's friendly with England away from the Santiago Bernabéu because they fear another embarrassing display of abuse aimed at Gerard Piqué. The World Cup winner and European Champion is understood to be completely unaffected by the bizarre treatment received from his own supporters in Spain's last game against Slovakia on Saturday, but Spanish football chiefs have still taken the extraordinary step to switch venues away from Spain's most prestigious stadium. Roy Hodgson's team were due to play the current European Champions on November 13 at the 85,000 capacity home of Real Madrid, but the game will now be played in Alicante at the José Rico Pérez stadium - a 30,000 venue that is home to a Spanish third division side, Hercules.

Thursday, 29 October 2015 - Arsene Wenger has said that Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will miss Arsenal's next three games and two England internationals with injury. Both players went off in Tuesday's 3-0 League Cup loss to Sheffield Wednesday. They are set to miss Arsenal's games against Swansea, Tottenham and Bayern Munich in the Champions League and friendlies versus Spain and France. "They are out until after the international break," Wenger said. 

Thursday, 5 November 2015 - Roy Hodgson has named Eric Dier in his squad to face Spain and France in next weeks friendlies.  21 year old Dier has played in central midfield for Tottenham this season, but has also covered the defensive roles. Injuries prevent the inclusion of Phil Jagielka, Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Danny Ings. Andros Townsend also misses out, however, Fabian Delph makes a return.

Tuesday, 10 November 2015 - Midfielder James Milner will miss England's friendlies after failing to shake off a hamstring injury. Roy Hodgson will not call up a replacement for the 29-year-old, who also missed Liverpool's defeat by Crystal Palace on Sunday. His absence increases Tottenham pair Dele Alli and Eric Dier's chances of making a first international start.

Thursday, 12 November 2015 - In today's press conference, Roy Hodgson reveals that Jamie Vardy is carrying an injury and will not feature in the match against Spain, but will hopefully be available for the Wembley friendly.  He also confirmed that captain Wayne Rooney will not start against Spain, but will do so against France.

Friday, 12 November 2015, morning - Joe Hart will captain the side tonight, becoming the first goalkeeper to captain the national team since David Seaman did against Moldova in September 1997. He becomes the 52nd post-war captain.
