The Spain national team, through its official channels, announced the list of players which will form part of the encounters against Faroe Islands and Sweden in Euro 2020 qualifying.

The Spain side has been announced for the next two games. They are against the Faroe Islands (7th June away) and against Sweden three days later at the Santiago Bernabeu. Spain beat Norway and Malta in their first two games

After the presentation of the list of players, Robert Moreno will replace Luis Enrique in the pre-match press conference. Luis Enrique is still not back from his absence which left the Spain set-up before the Malta game. 

The complete list is: De Gea, Pau López, Kepa; Sergi Roberto, Jordi Alba, Jesús Navas, Sergio Ramos, Íñigo Martínez, Diego Llorente, Hermoso, Carvajal, Gayà; Rodri, Isco, Parejo, Asensio, Busquets, Fabián, Cazorla; Rodrigo, Morata, Aspas and Oyarzabal.

The biggest change to the squad is the return of Santi Cazorla, who has not played for Spain since 13th November 2015 when the Villarreal midfielder showed against England. 

Furthermore, Oyarzabal is also part of the squad. The Real Sociedad man made his debut on 29th May 2016 although up to now he had played for the under-21 side. The captain Ramos, who is coming back from an injury, also makes the list. Diego Llorente is also there. 

The same goalkeeper are there from the previous squad and Bernat, Sergi Gomez, Parejo, Muniain, Saul and Mata all drop out. Isco is back after getting game time since Zidane's return as is Iago Aspas who has been key for Celta in the back end of the season.
