Torres, Navas and Pedro out for Spain

With Spain already missing key midfielder Xavi, coach Vicente del Bosque chose to call up four players, with Bruno Soriano and Borja Valero of Villarreal and Valencia's Aritz Aduriz and Pablo Hernandez joining the squad.

Striker Torres suffered a groin strain in Liverpool's 2-1 home defeat to Blackpool on Sunday, while Pedro has been ruled out for three weeks with a thigh muscle injury picked up during Barcelona's 1-1 draw at home to Real Mallorca.

Navas was a late withdrawal from Sevilla's squad to play Atletico Madrid on Sunday, suffering from a thigh muscle injury.
