Coach Victor Pițurcă renounced to call Adrian Mutu for this friendly. The coach said that Mutu could come at the squad just on Monday evening or even on Tuesday and he wanted to count only on the players who are focused 100% at this match. On Sunday, Mutu had an event in the family, the baptism of his daughter.

Former player of Dinamo, Florentin Petre, has injuried today and will not with Spain. The midfielder had a muscular problem during the official training from today and became unavailable for the meeting from Cádiz.

Costin Lazăr was very affected that he wasn't called at national team. With Lazăr on the field, Rapid had just one defeat in the 14 matches played in all the competitions. He is the best midfielder of Rapid, scoring and sending many passes for goal. "I admit that I am upset, because I think I have played pretty well since I have come at Rapid, and I also have played in important matches from European cups. Initially, Piturca has called me at the squad, but then he renounced. He didn't tell me why he renounced at me, but I think this is a normal thing. I am not a star like Mutu or, so why would he have done it?" - said Lazăr.
