#4 Juan Mata (Manchester United)
It is almost certain that the petite and eminently likeable Mata is no longer on the radar for the national team and based on his form in the last 3 seasons, nobody will blame the manager for overlooking the Old Trafford star.
Ever since the former Real Madrid starlet was forced out of Chelsea by Jose Mourinho (his current manager at United), Mata has become a shadow of the elf-like but super brilliant player who was majestic at Valencia and Chelsea and who usually did the business for La Roja whenever he was called upon (which wasn't very often).
He has become slow and ponderous with his contributions decreasing by the season and has looked just as mediocre as a lot of his fellow Red Devils this season.
He has not been included in any of Spain's squads for almost two years now and with the quality of midfielders at Lopetegui's disposal (as well as the many young ones who won't make it to the World Cup), the 31-year-old might as well call it a day as far as national team football is concerned
