Barcelona star's brother responds to Spain squad snub
This comes after Balde was left out once again by La Roja boss Luis de la Fuente.
Spain are primed to return to competitive action early next month, in a highly-anticipated Nations League semi-final meeting with Didier Deschamps' France.
Ahead of what is expected to be a challenging outing for the reigning European champions, the aforementioned De la Fuente and his staff therefore unveiled a strong panel of players earlier today.
This included no fewer than six Barcelona stars.
As alluded to above, though, this Blaugrana contingent did not include first-choice left-back Alejandro Balde.
And such news, evidently, has not gone down well with the defender's family…
This comes with Balde's brother, Edi, having taken to his official Instagram account on Monday, to unveil a post featuring little more than a photo of his sibling, and a yawning emoji:

American defender Caleb Wiley was again loaned from Chelsea to second-tier Watford on Tuesday after spending the second half of last season with the Hornets. The 20-year-old left back joined Chelsea from Major League Soccer's Atlanta United last July and was loaned to Strasbourg for the 2024-25 season. He made three starts and three substitute appearances for the Ligue 1 club. His last appearance was Nov. 24, when he dislocated a shoulder during a collision against Nice.
