Spain Plagued By Injuries

La Furia got together on Tues­day as they begin prepa­ra­tions for their upcom­ing World Cup qual­i­fier matches against Esto­nia and Bel­gium.   Valen­cia mid­fielder Raúl Albiol joins Barcelona’s Car­les Puyol (foot infec­tion) and Andrés Ini­esta (knee), Villarreal’s Santi Cazorla (leg con­tu­sion), and Sevilla’s  Diego Capel (ham­string) in the list of play­ers that come into the inter­na­tional dates with injuries.

The biggest ques­tions mark for Vicente Del Bosque is his mid­field. Along with Ini­esta, Capel, and Cazorla nicked up, the pos­si­bil­ity of them play­ing is still likely, but Del Bosque will most likely lean towards hav­ing a mid­field with Mar­cos Senna, Xavi,Fabregas, and Xabi Alonso in the midfield.
