Former England defender Joleon Lescott believes that David de Gea will keep his place in the Spanish team for the knockout stages of the World Cup.

Former England international Joleon Lescott has said that he has no doubts over David de Gea's place in the Spanish national team.

Spain drew 2-2 with Morocco on Monday evening as they secure qualification to the knockout stages by topping Group B.

Despite finishing top of the group, Spain conceded more goals than all of their opponents in the table, but Lescott believes that De Gea will retain his starting spot in the Round of 16.

"It's a different pressure, international football," Lescott told BBC Four.

"I'm sure the coach and manager have all got faith in David de Gea's ability, I'm sure he'll be the man going forward into the knockout stages."

Spain and Portugal qualified from Group B as Morocco and Iran exit the competition after the group stage.
