Surfed the Spanish press & checked all the comments from the media observers down South Africa following the SPANISH NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM & the news is that everyone is fit except SERGIO RAMOS. The defender received a heavy knock in the ribs against Switzerland & played with pain – killers against Honduras. A pre-match concern to keep following closely as apparently he was the only player not with the full SPAIN FOOTBALL TEAM at last nights training session which was a “dress rehearsal” for the important Chile game tomorrow. However, he was training this morning & I am sure he will start even if he has to play with "pain killers" again.
The other news is that ANDRES INIESTA is expected to be back in the starting line up against Chile & that Arbeloa may come in to replace Capdevila. The Spanish Soccer Team seems concerned about their flanks & especially with young Chilean winger Alexis Sanchez who is fast & will need some special attention. Arbeloa is seen as a better “marker” than Capdevila who is more attacking & who is prone to tiredness if he has to race back every time to cover his position.
At this point of time I speculate – repeat that I speculate – that the SPAIN FOOTBALL TEAM LINE UP against CHILE could be the following:
Casillas, Ramos, Pique, Puyol, Arbeloa, Busquets, Xabi Alonso, Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta, David Villa & Fernando Torres
( David Silvia if Spain plays with 1 forward upfront) Tweet
