CHELSEA striker Fernando Torres' lack of playing time could cost him a spot in Spain's squad when the European champion defends its title in June, according to coach Vicente del Bosque.
Torres has found himself relegated to Chelsea's substitutes bench, with Del Bosque calling the 27-year-old situation's worrying. "There are still five months until the European Championship and everything could turn around," Del Bosque said. "But if the situation doesn't change, it will be hard for him. Fernando deserves respect for his record, and he has all of our confidence. But if he doesn't play ... then certain things are obvious. If he plays and is in good form then he will go to the Euro."
