Three Barça players have been called up for Spain’s squad to play in this summer’s European Championship, which is to be held in Austria and Switzerland.
Carles Puyol, Xavi Hernández and Andrés Iniesta are among the 23 players who have been called up by coach Luis Aragonés this Saturday lunchtime for Spain’s squad to play in this summer’s European Championship held in Austria and Switzerland.
In the press conference, Luis Aragonés told the press why he
hadn’t named Bojan Krkic: “I talked to him and he told me he didn’t feel in shape
physically or mentally, so I respect his decision. I don’t usually check with each player,
but Bojan is very young”.
The squad
Goalkeepers: Casillas, Reina and Palop.
Defenders: Sergio Ramos, Arbeloa, Puyol, Marchena, Albiol, Juanito, Capdevila and Fernando Navarro.
Mid-fielders: Senna, Xabi Alonso, Xavi, Cesc, Iniesta, Silva, De la Red and Cazorla.
Forwards: Villa, Fernando Torres, Güiza and Sergio García.
