Spain have unveiled their final 23-man squad for the European Championships in Poland and Ukraine this summer.

After uncertainty over his inclusion, Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has made the cut after showing glimpses of his old self as the London club won the FA Cup and the Champions League.

Barcelona’s Pedro is another striker named in the party after scoring a double in the Copa Del Rey final.

However there’s no place for Atletico Madrid attacker Adrian Lopez despite scoring in the friendly win over Serbia.

David Villa confirmed earlier last week that he would not be fit enough to play while there’s some surprise over the omission of Valencia’s Roberto Soldado.
