Spanish international squads

With Piqué and Puyol returning, all three youngsters who were called up for the last games have been left out of Vicente Del Bosque's squad for the Euro 2012 double header against the Czech Republic and Scotland, a bit of a disappointment given that Spain have already qualified for next summer's finals. There is one new face in the squad though, Valencia left back Jordi Alba the latest to be given a chance to fill the spot left by Capdevila. The under 21 side also have a competitive match against Croatia next week, and Luis Milla has named a 19 man squad based on the group of players he called up for the games against Georgia last month.
