However, the decision to drop the 27-year-old has been well received in footballing circles, with former Spanish national team manager, Luis Aragones, coming out in the open to hail the decision.
Reflecting on the situation, Aragones stated that a player in Torres’ predicament should not be called up for the national team and must be given time to prove his worth for the selection.
"I understand that he has not been called, he is not going through a good time and must wait for another opportunity.”
"It is normal for a player who does not play and is not in good form to not go with the team."

"If I get a chance I hope to take advantage of it. There are still three long months until the tournament."
So far in his career, the Real Madrid academy graduate has failed to open his goal scoring account in his two national team appearances.
