Torres is one of two world cup winners dropped by Spain boss Vincente Del Bosque. The other world cup winner is Barcelona forward Pedro Rodriguez.
Del Bosque said of Torres: “He is a lad we appreciate a great deal and it pains me to leave him out but I wanted to be fair.”
Torres has failed to impress since joining Chelsea from Liverpool for a British record fee of £50million just over a year ago.
