LuNo Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Raúl Out Of Spain's Prelim Euro 2008 SquadRaúl González will not be going to the European Championships with Spain after being left out of a list of 31 names called upon to have inoculations for the tournament.Coach Luis Aragonés was forced to name a pool of players from which he will name his squad in May after UEFA stated that every squad member be vaccinated against a outbreak of Central European Encephalitis and that means having the jabs early.Reluctantly, the veteran trainer has given over the names and Raúl's absence is not that unexpected with the Real Madrid skipper not having represented his country since September 2006. Aragonés has chosen to name the players that he tried once or twice with Barça's Bojan Krkic, Sevilla's Andrés Palop and Getafed duo Rubén De la Red and Pablo Hernández being included.Los Merengues do have Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos include, while Barcelona have Bojan as well as Carles Puyol, Xavi and Andrés Iniesta. David Albelda has also been named despite not playing for Valencia since December, while Álvaro Arbeloa has also been retained along with Liverpool team-mates Xabi Alonso, Pepe Reina and Fernando Torres.The absence of Raúl may meet with an outcry from the Madrid-biased press, such as AS, who were driving a campaign to see the goalscorer recalled. But that plan looks certain to have failed as those included in the 31 that do not make the initial squad, will be used as cover in case of injuries, meaning that Raúl will not even sneak in through the back door.The 31 players called up on to have the vaccinations are:Real Madrid - Iker Casillas, Serio RamosBarcelona - Andrés Iniesta, Xavi, Carles Puyol, Bojan KrkicReal Mallorca - Daniel Güiza, Fernando NavarroArsenal - Cesc FàbregasLiverpool - Pepe Reina, Álvaro Arbeloa, Xabi Alonso, Fernando TorresGetafe - Rubén De la Red, Pablo HernándezSevilla - Andrés PalopReal Betis - JuanitoValencia - Carlos Marchena, Joaquín, David Villa, David Silva, David Albelda,Atlético de Madrid - Pablo Ibañez, Mariano Pernía, Antonio LópezVillarreal - Marcos Senna, Ángel, Joan CapdevillaEspanyol - Raúl Tamudo, Luis García, Albert Riera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chic_Raul_ista Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Then so be it, I hate ARAGONES!!!!!!!!I want him to have a heart attack an leave the NT coaching job, he has tried everything he can to hurt Raul and this time we all know for sure he does not want him. I don't get it because from all the strikers he has picked apart from Guiza they others are not up to scratch, Spain will pay the price for this old fools selfish behaviour.

Lara7Fdez Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 How can a NT coach call a playerwho doesn´t play (Albelda) and not call Raúl, who is doing one of his best seasons and has scored more goals than Bojan, Villa, Tamudo, etc.?? I hate him.... A person who puts his pride before the best for the team can´t be a NT coach... Thank you for the information, LuNo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
