The Federation is yet to confirm who he will replace in the squad but all signs point to the player in question being Saúl Ñíguez. The Atleti man didn’t train with the rest of the players on Monday but no news of his status has been confirmed as yet.
Herrera’s call-up to the senior squad is the first of his career. He knows Lopetegui well, havng played under him for the U21 squad.
