On Monday, Spain boss Luis Enrique named his 24-man squad for Euro 2020, and national team captain Ramos was among the notable absentees after failing to recover in time from a hamstring injury sustained earlier in the season.
The 35-year-old defender, who had taken part in each of Spain's previous nine major international competitions, has since responded to his exclusion from the tournament squad and confirmed it was due to his physical condition.
