Barcelona's teenage sensation Bojan Krkic could be in line for a shock call-up to the Spanish national side for this summer's European Championships after impressing Spain coach Luis Aragones.
The 17-year-old striker of Serbian origin has been one of the revelations of Barcelona's title-chasing side this season and has become a near regular for Frank Rijkaard's side since the end of 2007. Despite Krkic's relatively young age, Aragones admitted "he is playing really well". The wily technician admitted however his squad is far from being formed, and that its backbone would be made up of the players who helped Spain through the qualifying rounds. Aragones, who survived in his post despite Spain failing yet again to live up to their billing at the 2006 World Cup - exiting at the second round - said he will announce his squad for the June 7-29 tournament on March 1. One of the biggest question marks hangs over Spain icon Raul, whose form for Real Madrid seems to have returned this season but who has failed to impress in recent matches. The Euro 2008 will be held in Austria and Switzerland on June 7-29. |
