🤩 Luis de la Fuente on Isco: He's an option we're considering | OneFootball

The possible return of Isco Alarcón to the Spanish national football team has once again generated excitement among fans, especially after his footballing renaissance at Real Betis. It’s also because he is close to returning from his injury.

The rumors have been backed up by recent statements from the current coach, Luis de la Fuente. In the press conference prior to the match between Spain and Turkey, De la Fuente referred directly to the talented footballer, leaving a message of closeness and ongoing monitoring. He confirmed that their relationship is fluid and that Isco is on the list of players being observed for future call-ups.

The exact words of the coach from La Rioja reflect the esteem he has for Isco and his sporting interest. Luis de la Fuente stated: "We have a very good relationship with Isco. We spoke at the time. We hope he recovers well. Like many others, he is there, among the players we consider for a call-up when he’s recovered. I wish him a speedy return to football." This message is crucial, as it suggests that once Isco overcomes his physical issues, he will be a real option to wear the Spain shirt again.

Isco’s path back to the national team depends not only on his physical recovery, but also on maintaining the exceptional level he showed before his injury. His ability to break lines, his vision of the game, and his ball control are qualities that fit perfectly with the style De la Fuente is looking for. At 33 years old, Isco has shown a maturity and commitment that make him a very serious candidate to strengthen ‘La Roja’s’ midfield in future matches.
