2010 WORLD CUP winners Spain have named their 23-man squad for this year’s tournament in Russia.
Chelsea’s Alvaro Morata is perhaps the biggest name to miss out on selection and he will watch this summer’s events from home alongside club-mate Cesc Fabregas.
Barcelona’s Andres Iniesta does get the nod, however, and he’s named alongside the likes of Marco Asensio, Lucas Vázquez and Sergio Busquets in midfield.

Julen Lopetegui’s squad in full:
Goalkeepers: Kepa Arrizabalaga, David De Gea, Pepe Reina
