Cesc Fabregas relaxes with his 41 year old girlfriend ahead of Euro 2016

Cesc Fabregas has been soaking up the sun in Miami this week as he enjoys a short end of season break before linking up with the Spain squad for Euro 2016.

The midfielder was snapped chilling out poolside with girlfriend Danielle Semaan, 41, four days after Chelsea's final match of the season.

Fabregas, 29, was on Tuesday included in Spain's squad for next month's European Championship in France.

And he's clearly doing his utmost to keep his good end of season form, as he was spotted playing football in the swimming pool.

The couple were joined by their two young children, Lia, two, and Capri, 10 months, as they soaked up the sun.

Fabregas and Spain are gunning to win a third consecutive European Championship after lifting the trophy in 2008 and 2012.

They get their campaign underway against the Czech Republic on Monday 13 June.

Fabregas is joined in the squad by Chelsea teammates Pedro and Cesar Azpilicueta, but there's no room in Vicente del Bosque's set-up for Diego Costa or former Blues star Juan Mata.

Another player not going to the tournament is Chelsea captain John Terry, who announced his retirement from international football four years ago.

This week he put an end to speculation surrounding his future and signed a one-year contract extension at Stamford Bridge.

Hailing his skipper, Fabregas told Goal: "He has had a fantastic career for Chelsea. It is not easy nowadays to start your career somewhere and finish it [there].

"Very, very few players can say that, especially nowadays when everything is so tough and everyone demands so much from you and he has dealt with it very, very well and won a lot of trophies so it is very good from him."
