Diary
Friday, 6 February 2009 - Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has called up
Barcelona defender Gerard Piqué to his 22-man squad to face England. The
squad also sees the return of Valencia midfielder David Silva, while Arsenal's
Cesc Fábregas is out because of a long-term injury.
Liverpool striker Fernando
Torres is also included despite concerns over his fitness following his
withdrawal from the FA Cup defeat to Everton on Wednesday. Reds manager
Rafael Benitez has voiced his concerns over Torres' participation on Wednesday,
and is resigned to his star striker being involved. But Benitez hopes the
Spanish management will be considerate when it comes to Torres' involvement in
Sevilla. "There is no point worrying about him playing for Spain next week
because we know he will be selected, whatever we say. The Spanish manager
has tried to contact me, but we missed each other. But we will talk. We have
been speaking to the Spanish squad's fitness coach, so they know the situation.
They know our players are involved in a lot of games now and they will take care
of him." Torres' Reds team-mates Pepe Reina, Alvaro Arbeloa, Xabi Alonso,
Albert Riera are included in the 22-man party.
Monday, 9 February 2009 - Carles Puyol has been ruled out of Wednesday's
international friendly against England after picking up a thigh injury over the
weekend. The 30-year-old broke down with the problem during Barcelona's
3-1 win over Sporting Gijon on Sunday night and he will not be risked in
Sevilla. However, Liverpool striker Fernando Torres will start the match
despite his recent hamstring problems.
