Euro 2016 Players that miss out could form quiet a team

Vicente del Bosque named his 23-man squad for this summer's European Championship on Tuesday, and many fans were left shocked by some notable exclusions, including the likes of Isco and Saul Niguez.

With the Spanish team possessing such a high calibre of player disappointment was inevitable, and some will have to settle for cheering on their compatriots in France from the comfort of their sofas.

Goalkeepers - Adrian and Adan have each performed respectably for their clubs this season, with the former helping West Ham United to a seventh place Premier League finish, and the latter providing a number of solid goalkeeping displays for Real Betis.

Defenders - Mario Gaspar was dropped by del Bosque from his final squad, despite the full-back enjoying an impressive season for Villarreal.

Meanwhile, Nacho Monreal of Arsenal and Inigo Martinez of Real Sociedad are also unlucky to miss out.

Midfielders - It is a testament to the sheer quality of Spain's squad that so many outstanding midfielders will take no part in France.

Isco, Saul Niguez, Javi Martinez, Juan Mata, Gabi, Santi Cazorla and Jesus Navas have all been overlooked by the coach.

Forwards - Paco Alcacer, Diego Costa and Fernando Torres haven't been selected, with many surprised by the Valencia striker's absence.

Alcacer was the team's highest scorer in qualifying with five goals, but his services will be surplus to requirements this summer.

Needless to say, the team which these outcasts could form would prove to be a formidable challenge to many of the other countries playing in the tournament.
