Kepa Set to Become Spain's Number One Goalkeeper as Luis Enrique Prepares to Axe David de Gea

Spanish national team manager Luis Enrique is set to drop usual first-choice keeper David de Gea after losing patience with the Manchester United stopper's form.

The 28-year-old has kept just three clean sheets in all competitions this season for United and produced a handful of errors in Spain's 3-2 UEFA Nations League defeat to Croatia, casting doubt over their hopes of qualification for the finals of the competition.

De Gea elected to stay on his line instead of running out to smother the ball before Andrej Kramariu0107's opener, before a late blunder presented Tin Jedvaj with the opportunity he needed to win the game in injury-time.
