Spain Unlikely To Change For Russia

Spain's last full training session at their Neustift base threw up few surprises, with Luis Aragonés continuing with his confirmed "strongest XI" in a bounce game.

Thus the main team, watched by a huge throng of fans, comprised Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Puyol, Marchena, Capdevila, Senna, Xavi, Iniesta, Silva, Torres, and Villa.

Aragonés appeared anxious and determined as he put the squad through their paces, and he was indeed given much food for thought as the "reserve" team ran out 2-0 winners.

Goals from Sergio García and Daniel Güiza gave the second string victory, although whether or not Aragonés will be tempted to change things around, given that the main squad have won three out of the three games they've contested, remains to be seen.
