| Victor Valdes has been left out of Spain's most recent squad |
VICENTE DEL BOSQUE has revealed he thought about including Victor Valdes in the Spain squad to boost his morale.
The former Barcelona goalkeeper has seen his career go into free-fall since signing for Manchester United.
The twice Champions League winner has been frozen out by Louis van Gaal and failed to finalise a deal with Besiktas on deadline day.
However, Del Bosque has admitted he still considered giving the 33-year-old a place in the Spain squad to give him 'a lift'.
He told reporters: "We were very close to calling Víctor Valdés, he has always done well for the national team.
"I know that the national team is not a charity but maybe he needed a lift and in the end we didn't give it to him.
"Maybe we have even been cowards - I think we are all people and we have to have feelings."
