Pedro Porro called up by Spain, set to face Sporting player | OneFootball

Pedro Porro was called up by Luis de la Fuente to represent the Spanish national team in the matches against Bulgaria and Georgia - of Giorgi Kochorasvhili, who was warned by a high-ranking official of Sporting - in the qualifying phase for the 2026 World Cup.

The right-back is performing excellently at Tottenham, maintaining the good form he showed at Sporting, and once again earns the trust of the La Roja coach, being the absolute owner of the starting position for the neighboring country.

Pedro Porro's competitor is Marcos Llorente, a natural midfielder, who can play on the right flank of the more defensive line. The former Sporting player also has the advantage of being able to play in a four-defender line or as a wing-back in a three-center-back system.

Recently, Pedro Porro recalled the times he lived at Alvalade: “I follow a lot, especially Sporting. I watch all the games. I remember perfectly that when I arrived at Sporting I was nobody. I had played in the under-21 national team, but I was nobody and Sporting gave me everything,” he emphasized on the podcast Sem Filtros, from Liga Portugal.

This season, wearing the Tottenham jersey, the former Sporting player – valued at 38 million euros – has played 10 matches. In total, the Spanish international right-back has accumulated 847 minutes, with two assists to his personal account.
