To see the Napoli midfielder miss out on another international tournament after his excellent season is simply bewildering.
Callejon impressed at Real Madrid but often featured as a super sub or was taken off after 65 minutes, so we could understand why Del Bosque might have favoured other names over him.
Now however he has shown he can last the 90 and has been vital for Rafa Benitez all season. An injection of passion and quality on the wings would be standard should Calleti get the nod.
