Pedro Rodriguez spoke on Saturday (11th June) ahead of Spain's opening Euro 2016 fixture against Czech Republic and says David de Gea has the squad’s support despite being implicated in a sex scandal.

SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Pedro Rodriguez, Spain:
(on how is David de Gea is doing?)
"He knows that we are all with him. We're giving him our support. He is very calm and we are as well. It's not the best moment for this to happen because we are only one day away from starting the European Championship. But we are all together with him. He's very calm and remains cool-headed, very professional. That's what is important for the group right now."

SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Pedro Rodriguez, Spain:
(on whether if allegations have an impact when head coach Vicente del Bosque picks the goalkeeper).
"I don't think so. I don't think it will affect del Bosque. I don't think he will, but he has to decide and make these decisions. He will have to decide who will be the in the line up. Personally, I don't think this news will affect his decision. That's my opinion."
