The Spanish football federation says Spain defender Carles Puyol will miss the World Cup champion's opening Euro 2012 qualifying match due to injury.
The Barcelona centerback will not feature in Friday's Group I match against Liechtenstein or a friendly against Argentina four days later due to the left leg injury.
Osasuna defender Ignacio Monreal replaces Puyol, who also missed Barcelona's league win over Racing Santander on Sunday to injury.
Puyol has made 90 appearances for Spain and helped it to the European championship two years ago.
