Injured Spain stars Carles Puyol and David Villa will attend the EURO 2012 final in Kiev between Spain and Italy, the Spanish football federation has announced.
Puyol, 34, and Villa, 30, missed EURO 2012 because of serious injuries. They were important in Spain's triumphs at EURO 2008 and the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Spain coach Vicente del Bosque reacted positively to the news that the two injury victims would be present at the final.
"We are delighted that Puyol and Villa will be here," he said. "We are grateful to them for making the effort to come. I am sure their presence will help us."
Spain will be trying to become the first ever national team to win three consecutive major trophies.
