Asensio, Deulofeu and Illarramendi named in Spain squad

Julen Lopetegui has made one or two surprise choices for his squad for a friendly against Colombia and a World Cup qualifying clash against Macedonia

Real Madrid youngster Marco Asensio and AC Milan's Gerard Deulofeu have been included in Julen Lopetegui's Spain squad for the June international matches.

Deulofeu, who has impressed while on loan in Serie A from Everton, scored his first international goal in the 2-0 friendly win over France in March and has retained his place as a reward.

Asensio, 21, made his Spain debut in the Euro 2016 warm-up match against Bosnia-Herzegovina last May but has not appeared for the national team since.
