Could there be surprises in the final Spain squad?

Listen to the full interview via the podcast

Tomorrow night, Spain have a pre-World Cup friendly against Bolivia in Seville and one of the surprise call-ups to the squad is recent Everton loanee Gerard Deulofeu.

The Barcelona youngster was not part of the original 30-man squad for the tournament, so does this mean there could be surprise inclusions in the final 23-man panel for Brazil?

Graham Hunter told us that: "Del Bosque will take risks. He has said that Gerard Deulofeu is in this list for the Bolivia game because they trust in him and they believe in promoting. In the six years since [Del Bosque]'s taken over, he's introduced damn near 60 full new caps. That shows you that he has a very watchful eye on the production factory which is underneath this squad. But rather than looking for dark horses, I think there will be fairly minor murmurings when it comes to the list. He's also said that he wants to get the final 23 promptly but that if he needs to, he'll go to the deadline."

Graham also gave his take on Spain's chances of glory this summer.
