The Spanish international is set to return to action after a three-match ban for stamping on Liverpool’s Emre Can in the Capital One Cup semi-final, and has taken the opportunity to defend his actions once again.

“If you check my records, you will find out that I’ve never caused a bad injury to any player,” he is quoted in the Daily Telegraph. “The bottom line is that sometimes the little things I do on the pitch provoke exaggerated reactions.

“But if you rewind a bit and go through what they did to me, you may have another point of view.”
