Arsenal Hector Bellerin has been selected for Spain's Euro 2016 squad after impressing in his first international appearance last weekend.

The 21-year-old will cancel a planned family holiday in June after an injury to Real Madrid's Dani Carvajal thrust him into the reckoning for Vicente del Bosque's final 23-man squad.

Bellerin received his first cap for La Roja in a 3-1 friendly victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina in Switzerland on Sunday.

The Barcelona-born right back was a mainstay in the Arsenal team last season and was named in the PFA Premier League team of the year.

Arsenal have been approached by Bellerin's boyhood club, who are looking to replace the departing Dani Alves, but are not believed to be interested in selling.

Also confirmed in the Spain squad that will be looking to defend their 2012 title are Chelsea's Pedro, Cesc Fabregas and Cesar Azpilicueta, Manchester City's David Silva and Manchester United's David De Gea.
