Spain face South American giants Argentina in a glamour friendly in Buenos Aires on Tuesday evening, having begun their Euro 2012 qualifying campaign with a comfortable 4-0 win over Liechtenstein on Friday night.
The Albicelestes will represent a far stiffer challenge, and although the match is non-competitive the likes of Lionel Messi and Gonzalo Higuain will be desperate to defeat their La Liga colleagues.
Defender Raul Albiol was unable for selection for this squad through injury, while Carles Puyol picked up a knock to his calf earlier in the week and had to be replaced by Osasuna's Nacho Monreal.
Meanwhile, Juan Mata, who was involved in the squad during their famous triumph in South Africa, has dropped back down to Under-21 level, along with Athletic Bilbao midfielder Javi Martinez.
Here is the squad list in full:
Goalkeepers: Iker Casillas (Real Madrid), Victor Valdes (Barcelona), Pepe Reina (Liverpool)
Defenders: Alvaro Arbeloa (Real Madrid), Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid), Joan Capdevila (Villarreal), Carlos Marchena (Villarreal), Gerard Pique (Barcelona), Nacho Monreal (Osasuna)
Midfielders: Sergio Busquets (Barcelona), Xabi Alonso (Real Madrid), Xavi (Barcelona), Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal), Santi Cazorla (Villarreal), David Silva (Manchester City), Jesus Navas (Sevilla), Andres Iniesta (Barcelona)
Strikers: Pedro Rodriguez (Barcelona), Fernando Llorente (Athletic Bilbao), David Villa (Barcelona), Fernando Torres (Liverpool)
