Spanish
international squad
Iñaki Sáez has
called up the uncapped Javi Navarro for the Euro 2004 double header against
Ukraine and Armenia next week. The Sevilla defender comes in together with
Valencia's Marchena as several defensive players are unavailable, including
Puyol, Curro Torres and Juanito who are injured, Iván Helguera who is
suspended for the first game and García Calvo who is not playing
regularly for his club. Sáez has also left out Atlético's
José Marí and brought back Deportivo's Valerón for his
first appearance since recovering from a long term injury. The under 21 side
will also be playing matches against the same countries the day before, and the
managers have only made a couple of changes from the squad who played the last
friendly match against Germany, with Arriaga and Antonio López coming in
and Rayo's Julio Alvarez dropping out. (20.03.03)
