David de Gea retains the trust of Julen Lopetegui despite making an uncharacteristic error that cost Spain victory in a World Cup warm-up against Switzerland.

“David knows that I know he’s going to take us forward in many games and I have no doubt about him,” Lopetegui told reporters after a 1-1 draw in Villarreal.

Spain looked on track to win their first friendly ahead of Russia 2018 after Alvaro Odriozola scored his maiden international goal with a sensational volley.

But a shot from Swiss captain Stephan Lichtsteiner was spilled by De Gea, allowing AC Milan left back Ricardo Rodriguez to tap in from close-range.
