Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has added Fernando Torres and Juan Mata to his provisional squad for Euro 2012.

Del Bosque announced his pre-selection for the tournament earlier this month, but did not include any Barcelona, Chelsea or Athletic Bilbao players as they still had club obligations.

However, Torres and Mata have now been included in the provisional list after completing their commitments with Chelsea following their Champions League final win over Bayern Munich.

The pair will join the rest of the squad for the team’s training camp in Austria on May 25.

Del Bosque will add players from Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao to the group after the Copa del Rey final, before announcing his final squad on May 27.

Spain start Euro 2012 with a Group C match against Italy on June 10, before taking on the Republic of Ireland and Croatia.
