Santi Cazorla discovered his remarkable comeback had taken him into the Spain squad for the first time since 2015 when his team-mates chanted his name on Friday.
"I found out from my team-mates," the midfielder said. "After training I heard them chanting my name and I didn't know why. That was when they started congratulating me."
"It's almost like being called up for the first time because it's something so unexpected. I'm going to enjoy it a lot."
"I think I can contribute," added Cazorla. "During the years of injury I always wanted to play again and I wanted to play at the highest level."
"That has not been proposed," Molina said. "The commitment of the federation to Luis Enrique is total. That commitment is mutual and will continue. On our part there is no doubt about that."
