Valencia players called to international duty

Adil Rami Valencia CF

French national team coach Deschamps called up Adil Rami to the national team. Adil Rami has been a regular squad member for France, but since the arrival of Didier Deschamps he has been relegated to the bench.

Of course Rami has only himself to blame as him performances haven't been great for Valencia CF and for France in Euro 2012.

Joao Pereira has been called up again for Portugal, but coach Paulo Bento dropped Ricardo Costa from the national team and called up Valladolid center back Henrique Sereno.

Another player that has been dropped is Jonas Goncalved from the Brazil national team, though goalkeeper Diego Alves was called back.

Fernando Gago has also been called to the Argentinian national team and he has been a regular for quite some time now, starting in midfield alongside Mascherano.
