Deportivo La Coruna legend Fran insists son Nico Gonzalez isn't ready for Spain.

Barcelona midfielder Nico has been mentioned as a candidate for the senior Spain squad after the breakthroughs of teammates Pedri and Gavi.

But Fran says: "He has to burn stages, rushing is never good.

"When everything comes to you made of blows you can believe that you have achieved everything."

This season, Nico has made 31 appearances for Barca.
