Hector Bellerin will go to Euro 2016 with defending champions Spain if Dani Carvajal fails to regain fitness in time, Vicente del Bosque has confirmed.
The 21-year-old Arsenal right-back played 90 minutes as La Roja beat Bosnia 3-1 in Switzerland, and head coach Del Bosque was so impressed that he pledged to include Bellerin in his 23-man squad should Real Madrid's Carvajal be ruled out with the muscle injury he suffered in the Champions League final.
On Monday Real Madrid issued this statement: "After the tests carried out today at the Sanitas La Moraleja University Hospital the player Daniel Carvajal has been diagnosed with a grade 2 injury to the right iliopsoas. His recovery will continue to be assessed."
The statement puts Carvajal's participation in doubt pending an update from Del Bosque. Recovery from a minor strain (grade one) can take one to three weeks while larger tears usually require four to eight weeks, which would rule him out of this summer's tournament in France.
After a brace from Nolito and Pedro's late goal rendered Emir Spahic's headed response for Bosnia redundant in St Gallen, Del Bosque told a postmatch news conference: "We are waiting for the outcome of several assessments on our injured players. We can only hope the results are good.
"We have two days until I name my list of 23 players. While we are waiting to hear from the medics [about Carvajal], Bellerin stays with us."
Nolito boosted Spain into an early two-goal lead with a pair of stunning strikes, which were both set up by Chelsea's Cesc Fabregas.
The Celta Vigo striker, breaking his duck on his seventh appearance for Spain, curled Fabregas' first pass beyond Asmir Begovic before besting the goalkeeper with a clever lob in the 18th minute.
On the stroke of half-time, Fabregas was confronted by veteran defender Spahic, with the Bosnian seeing red for raising his hands to the midfielder.
After the break Mikel Oyarzabal -- the 19-year-old Real Sociedad winger -- took many by surprise with his mature performance off the bench, but it was another substitute, Pedro, who rounded off the scoring with a close-range finish in second-half stoppage time.
Nolito said of his second goal: "I saw the goalie coming out and I decided to chip the ball. I'll remember that one.
"The fans should be optimistic about Spain's European Championship campaign. We deserve a lot of credit and I think we'll play a big part over there.
"Bosnia played very well and I think that brought a good level of football out of us."
Next up for the Euro 2012 winners, who bombed out at the World Cup, are South Korea, who tackle La Roja in Salzburg this week.
"We've got another match on Wednesday," added Nolito.
"We all know that while everyone in the current Spain selection is good enough, dreaming is free, and it remains to be seen who will make the final cut."
