Llorente was an unused substitute in Spain s first two group games of this summer's European Championships against Sweden and Poland which both ended in draws.

The Whites centre-back was then not named on the bench for Wednesday night's Group E finale against Slovakia in which Luis Enrique's side romped to a 5-0 victory to seal qualification for the last 16 as group runners-up.
