Habeeb Akinfegbe
As team managers begin to release provisional lists, intensify training and preparation for Euro 2016, Spain manager Vicente Del Bosque has left Chelsea striker Diego
Costa, Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata and Arsenal star Santi
Cazorla out of his preliminary 25-man squad for this summer's European
Championships.The Chelsea striker struggled for form in the first half of the season as the Blues endured a torrid start to the campaign, but he ended the season with 16 goals in all competitions, leading to hope that he may be included in his country's selection for the tournament in France.
However, Del Bosque has overlooked the 27-year-old, instead selecting Alvaro Morata, Aritz Aduriz and Nolito as his striking options.
Fernando Torres, who has enjoyed something of a career renaissance at Atletico Madrid, also misses out on the squad, along with a number of Premier League stars.
The following are the lists already released by some managers, although these are not the final lists:
