Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas, has admitted that he was angry with Spain team-mate Sergio Ramos, after the defender questioned his absence from last week’s international matches.
Fabregas played 90 minutes for the Blues against Liverpool, but missed his country’s games against Belarus and Germany with a hamstring strain.
Ramos was quoted as saying that some players should show more commitment to Spain, but later denied he was referring to Fabregas and Diego Costa. But the Chelsea man has revealed that he spoke to Ramos over the incident.
“Yes, I felt offended, and told Sergio how I felt,” he told Cadena Cope. “We eventually spoke on the phone and all is fine.
“It really irked me that my level of commitment was doubted. I’ve played many times and been involved in call-ups without playing. I’ve played 94 games for Spain over the past nine years.
“I had tendinitis in my left hamstring. If I played I could have ended up with an injury not to dissimilar to that of Modric.
“I told Ramos at the time that if he has something to say to me then he should pick up the phone and call and not send messages via the media. We’ve been playing together since we were in the Under-21 team together.”
