Alvaro Negredo Set To Start For Spain Against Bosnia - Report
As he promised prior to the Armenia match, Spain coach Vicente del Bosque looks set to use revamped starting XI against Bosnia-Herzegovina on Wednesday.
AS report that the trainer has one doubt in his squad. He must choose between Andres Iniesta, who is struggling with a slight injury, and Santi Cazorla.
The Barcelona star will start if he is fit, but Cazorla is ready to step in as Del Bosque does not want to take any risks with either Iniesta or Fernando Torres, who also has a knock.
Alvaro Negredo will be Torres' replacement against Bosnia, while Iker Casillas will collect his 99th international cap as he should reclaim his place in goal.
The changes are necessary due to the withdrawal of five of the squad for a variety of reasons. Dani Guiza, Carlos Marchena and Xavi have all left the team due to injury, Carles Puyol is suspended and Cesc Fabregas has flown to Barcelona due to a "serious family matter".
Spain's expected line up: Casillas; Iraola, Albiol, Pique, Capdevila; Busquets, Xabi Alonso; Cazorla or Iniesta, Silva, Riera; Negredo.
