Just a few week's after Spain's under 19 side ended as runners-up in the European Championship, the next crop of youngsters have been called up for a friendly tournament in Japan. With Luis Milla taking over from López Caro at the under 21 level, Julen Lopetegui is the new man in charge of the under 19s, and he has named a squad of 18 players for this tournament, largely based on previous under 17 squads. Three games have been arranged, against hosts Japan, then a selection of players from the local Shizuoka region, and finally Ghana. (04.08.10)
