Ramos Hoping For Spain Recall Ahead Of Qatar 2022

Ramos Hoping For Spain Recall Ahead Of Qatar 2022

Sergio Ramos remains hopeful of nicking a place in Spain manager Luis Enrique's squad for the upcoming FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Ramos has not played for his country since March 2021 and was left out of the squad for the European championships last summer.

That disappointment followed an injury-plagued campaign in his final season with Real Madrid and it continued into his first season with Paris Saint Germain, making just 12 appearances in Ligue 1.

The 36-year-old looks set to better that tally this season, making 11 appearances in the French top flight and adding five more in the UEFA Champions League already.

A veteran of four World Cups already, Ramos will be looking to add to his 180 caps for Spain when Enrique puts together his roster for Qatar in a few days time after finding some consistency with his fitness.

"Everyone knows what it means to me to defend the colours of my country," Ramos said at a news conference ahead of PSG's Champions League fixture against Juventus on Wednesday.

"After a difficult season, I feel good again, I'm playing again and I'm available. I still hope to return to the selection, and I dream of the World Cup. 

"But we have to wait and continue to play at the best level to convince the coach. I hope I will have the chance to play in another World Cup.

"Last year was difficult. I was injured, I had to adapt after spending most of my career at Real. At no time did I think it was the end of my career. It was a challenge. 

"Last year is forgotten. There have been changes and I'm happy, I'm totally adapted to Paris and I'm hungry for titles. 

"If I think it is over, I will stay at home to take care of my children, but I think I can last a few more years at the best level in football."
