The Spanish midfielder is expected to play with La Roja in both of their upcoming friendly matches against Italy and Romania.

Doping tests may be hard for some footballers to accept. But when these are performed late and without notice, the players may have a reason to complain about.

Such was the case of Cesc Fabregas, who publicly bashed UEFA for their poor timing as the 28-year-old had a surprise doping test performed on him at 11:30 p,m.

Using his Snapchat account, the former Barcelona player showed the world what a doping test looks like, and captioned his transmission with an angry statement against the European Football Association.

Spain is getting ready to play a couple of friendly matches against Italy and Romania, as Del Bosque's men get ready to fight for a record-breaking third Euro win in a row. Fabregas has been key to the team's success in recent years, and his off-form state during the 2014 World Cup may have been one of the reasons behind Spain's downfall in the tournament.
