Cesc Fabregas has closed the ongoing argument with Sergio Ramos over his availability for the Spanish national side.
The Chelsea midfielder missed the recent matches against Belarus and Germany due a hamstring injury but Real Madrid defender Ramos was quoted as saying that he was unsure about the true extent of Fabregas’ injury and doubted his commitment to the national side.
Fabregas has now reacted to the claims and said that the situation has been sorted after a phone call between the two.
“Yes, I felt offended, and told Sergio how I felt,” he told Spanish radio station Cadena Cope. “We eventually spoke on the phone and all is fine.
“It really irked me that my level of commitment was doubted. I’ve played many times and been involved in call-ups without playing. I’ve played 94 games for Spain over the past nine years.
“I had tendinitis in my left hamstring. If I played I could have ended up with an injury not to dissimilar to that of Modric.
“I told Ramos at the time that if he has something to say to me then he should pick up the phone and call and not send messages via the media. We’ve been playing together since we were in the Under-21 team together.”
