# Adrian in-line for Spain call-up after De Gea named in sexual assault case

West Ham goalkeeper and fan-favourite Adrian is in-line for a shock call-up to the Spain national squad for Euro 2016 following breaking news reports of David De Gea’s involvement in a sexual assault dating back to 2012.

The Manchester United and Spain No.1 has been named in a claim of sexual assault, along with international team-mate Iker Muniain, according to Spanish source [El Dario](https://www.eldiario.es/politica/Gea-Muniain-pornografo-Torbe_0_524948592.html).

The Spanish news outlet say that a protected witness in the ongoing investigation into pornography company, Torbe, has implicated De Gea and Muniain in the case.

Torbe is owned by Ignacio Fernandez Allende, who was jailed last April on charges of human trafficking for sexual exploitation, sexual assault, child pornography, extortion, those related to prostitution and against public health, as well as money laundering.

The witness claims that David de Gea arranged with Torbe for her to be waiting in a hotel room in Madrid, where she was then sexually assaulted. De Gea is not said to have been involved in the claimed assault itself, but if proven guilty of the claim against him, arranging the meeting would be considered a serious criminal act in itself.

Neither the Spanish FA, Manchester United or De Gea have commented on these allegations thus yet, it’s possible that national side manager Vicente del Bosque could take precautionary action and drop the ‘keeper from his squad ahead of Euro 2016 to avoid any possible media circus interfering with his side’s preparations.

Although should del Bosque take action and send De Gea home, as it’s being rumoured at the moment, it’s believed that West Ham’s Adrian is in-line to replace him in the 23-man squad and assume role as the third-choice ‘keeper.
