Bellerin named in Spain squad for Euro 2016

Arsenal full-back Hector Bellerin has been named in the Spain squad for Euro 2016 with coach Vicente del Bosque having revealed 19 of his 23 players, with the final four to be announced this afternoon.

The 21-year-old was rewarded for an impressive season at the Emirates after being called up to the preliminary squad and made his debut against Bosnia in the 3-1 win on Sunday.

An injury to Dani Carvajal means Bellerin will now keep his place in the Spain squad with Del Bosque's side set to open their campaign against Czech Republic on June 13.
