Vicente del Bosque admits that he may not select Fernando Torres for Spain's Euro 2012 squad.

Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has hinted that Fernando Torres could lose his place in the squad for Euro 2012.

Torres has struggled for form and goals since moving to Chelsea from Liverpool for £50m in January of this year.

The 27-year-old, who played a key role in Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup, is now facing the prospect of missing out altogether with Spain.

"It's a concern. He isn't playing much. There are five months to go to the European Championships, in which everything can turn around," Del Bosque told AS.

"But if the situation doesn't change it's going to be difficult for him. Fernando deserves respect for his career and he has our confidence. But if he doesn't play, well, time will tell.

"If he plays and he's fine he will go to the Euros. He has contributed to the success we've had and he has some leeway."

Torres has made 91 appearances for the national team.
