Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon and midfielder Pedri are among six players at the European Championship who will also represent their country at the Olympic Games in Tokyo after being included in coach Luis de la Fuente's squad on Tuesday.

Mikel Oyarzabal and Dani Olmo, who played in Monday's rollercoaster 5-3 win over Croatia that sent Spain into the last eight of Euro 2020, will also be involved in both tournaments, as will defenders Pau Torres and Eric Garcia.

Real Madrid pair Marco Asensio and Dani Ceballos were included in De La Fuente's 22-man squad after being left out of Luis Enrique's squad for Euro 2020, meaning Real will be represented in Tokyo after none of their players were picked for a major tournament for the first time ever.

Spain begin their Olympics campaign against Egypt on July 22, 11 days after the Euro 2020 final.
