Álvaro Valles and Marc Roca, first call-up with Spain
The two Betis players join Luis de la Fuente's squad this Monday ahead of the Nations League games against Czechia and England.
Álvaro Valles and Marc Roca, both of Real Betis, left Seville's airport this Monday for their first camp with Spain's senior squad, according to Mundo Deportivo. Both started the 2-0 win away to Elche the day before and are due to train this afternoon in Las Rozas under Luis de la Fuente.
Valles said Betis' profile is different now and that their strong start in La Liga and the Champions League says a lot. The goalkeeper kept a clean sheet at the Martínez Valero for the sixth time in twelve matchdays, and says the call-up gives him more strength to keep improving.
Roca, who already worked with De la Fuente in the youth teams, hopes it is the first of many call-ups. Asked about two Betis players being selected, he linked it to the team's form, fourth in La Liga: «this Betis has no limit».
Spain will close the Nations League group stage on Thursday 12 November against Czechia in Prague and on Sunday 15 against England at the Metropolitano.
