Theo is disappointed not to have received full international honours

The Real Madrid man could opt to play for Spain instead of France

Real Madrid defender Theo Hernandez has not ruled out choosing Spain over France in the future. The left-back has begun the process to get Spanish citizenship after spending more than 10 years in the country. His relationship with the French Football Federation is not good and he could end up representing La Roja instead, 

Theo, who joined Real from Atletico this summer, left his international future in the air after his side's win over Eibar. "If France don't call me up, we will see..." he said. "There have been two U21 squads now in which they've not called me up, which makes me nervous. I am French, but we will see what happens. They didn't call me up in August, September or August... I'll see. I am a little annoyed."

"If they continue not to call me up, I will have to decide. I've not closed the door on Spain," said Theo, who has played for various France youth teams but never the first team, which means he could still switch his allegiances to La Roja.
