Spanish international squads

Vicente Del Bosque named his new squad for the upcoming friendly game against France and the opening Euro 2016 qualifier against Macedonia.

Under 21 coach Albert Celades also announced his 21 man squad for the European qualifiers against Hungary and Austria, with five players from the Premier League (Manquillo, Moreno, Ayoze, Muniesa and Amat), as well as Barcelona’s 18 year old striker Munir.
