Luis Enrique says he wants to convince Busquets to play another World Cup

Spain boss Luis Enrique has been talking about Barcelona captain Sergio Busquets after naming the midfielder in his World Cup squad.

Busquets is one of seven Barcelona players on Lucho’s list for the forthcoming tournament in Qatar, with Eric García, Jordi Alba, Pedri, Gavi, Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati also included.

The tournament is expected to be Busquets’s last World Cup, but the Spain boss thinks the 34-year-old can keep on playing.

“I do not agree it will be his last World Cup,” he said. “My objective is to convince him to play another one,” he said.
