MADRID, May 17 (Reuters) - Former captain and leading all-time scorer Raul and Barcelona teenager Bojan Krkic were left out of the Spain squad for Euro 2008 on Saturday.

The surprise inclusions in coach Luis Aragones' 23-man squad for the tournament in Austria and Switzerland were uncapped Villarreal midfielder Santi Cazorla and Real Zaragoza forward Sergio Garcia.

Raul has not played since the Euro 2008 qualifying defeat against Northern Ireland in September 2006, although his inclusion had been championed by the Madrid-based press.

The 30-year-old has recaptured his form at title-winning Real Madrid this season and is the club's top scorer with 18 goals, his best tally in seven years.

He is the country's leading scorer with 44 goals and with 102 caps has made more appearances than any other outfield player since making his debut as a 19-year-old in October 1996.

"It isn't a case of ending the debate over Raul. I focus on the players not the clubs. There are other players who have scored more goals (than Raul) per minutes played, and they aren't coming either," Aragones told a news conference.

Krkic was likely to have been included but the 17-year-old Barca striker ruled himself out in an agreement with Aragones that he needed to rest.
