Villarreal veteran Santi Cazorla admits he's excited about the prospect of playing for Spain at Euro 2020.

The midfielder has hauled himself back into international contention after a couple of extraordinary seasons with Villarreal.

Cazorla told Marca: "It was something that I'd written off when I returned to football; even the day that they called me up again I knew it was a reward and without too many expectations of staying in the squad.

"But I've kept playing at Villarreal and the national coaches have confidence in me and this has excited me. I spoke to [Luis Enrique] for 10 minutes recently when he came to the game yesterday and I'm grateful for his words."
