Team News: Juan Mata, Oriol Romeu start for Spain

Chelsea pair Juan Mata and Oriol Romeu start for already-eliminated Spain in their final Group D match against Morocco.

Chelsea pair Juan Mata and Oriol Romeu have been named in the starting lineup for Spain's final Group D match against Morocco at Old Trafford this afternoon.

The pre-tournament joint favourites have already been eliminated after suffering defeats in their opening two games.

Despite this, coach Luis Milla has still named a strong XI, with Mata and Romeu joined by potential future club teammate, Cesar Azpilicueta, who has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.

Morocco, who can still qualify with a win provided Japan beat Honduras in the group's other match, are captained by Driss Fettouhi while Sporting Lisbon youngster Zakaria Labyad starts in midfield.

Spain: De Gea; Martinez, Alba, Azpilicueta, Botia; Martinez, Romeu, Isco, Mata, Muniain; Adrian

Morocco: Amsif; Noussir, Abarhoun, Feddal, Jebbour; Fettouhi, Barrada, Kharja; Labyad; Amrabat, Bidaoui
