Missing out: Adrian Lopez has not been included in Spain's squad

'It is a ratification of the fact we are building usefully. Groups have to go and be filled with new people but we have a plenitude of players and I don't expect such a generation to last. However, we cannot have any doubt in these players.'

Finally, the former Real Madrid boss touched on those who did not make the squad due to last-minute injuries, as well as Fabregas' hamstring strain.

'In the case of Cesc the doctors are optimistic. We didn't believe there was any chance of not naming him.

'Thiago Alcantara has a problem of certain importance that also puts his participation in the Olympics in doubt and in the case of Iraola, he has all our appreciation but it seems he has been playing with a great desire and is not physically right.'
