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

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

The right-back continues to excel 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 in the neighboring country's team.

As a competitor, Pedro Porro has Marcos Llorente, a natural midfielder, who can play on the right side of the most defensive axis of the field. The former Sporting player also has the added value of being able to act in a line of four defenders or as a wing in a system of three centers.

Recently, Pedro Porro recalled the times he lived in Alvalade: “I follow a lot, more 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 team, but I was nobody and Sporting gave me everything”, he emphasized on the Sem Filtros podcast, from Liga Portugal.

This season, with the Tottenham shirt, the former Sporting - 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.
