Fabregas and Ramos settle rift

CESC Fabregas was “pissed off” with Spain teammate Sergio Ramos for raising doubts about his commitment to the national team but said the pair had buried the hatchet.

The midfielder pulled out of Spain’s matches against Belarus and Germany this month citing injury. The fact that Fabregas had played the whole of the 2-1 Premier League win at Liverpool a few days before he was due to join up with the squad in Madrid prompted Ramos to suggest club had taken priority over country.

“Yes I felt that I was the one being alluded to and I already told Sergio what I thought,” Fabregas said. “I said to Ramos he can call me on the telephone and say it to my face. I told him we have been playing together since the under-21s and there is no need to send messages in the media. I have made 94 appearances for Spain and for nine years I have always come, always. And with a smile from ear to ear.”
