Spain vs Switzerland Preview

Spain midfielder Andres Iniesta could fit to start against a Switzerland side who will be without their main striker, Alex Frei.

Frei, who has scored 40 goals in 73 appearances for Switzerland and is his country’s captain, has an ankle problem and is not fit enough to be considered for this match. Bayer Leverkusen forward Eren Derdiyok will replace Frei upfront.

Also out for Ottmar Hitzfeld’s side is West Ham midfielder Valon Behrami, who misses out with a thigh strain.

Spain boss Vincent Del Bosque remains confident that Andres Iniesta will be fit enough to play, but if the Barcelona man doesn’t make it, Arsenal’s Cesc Fabregas will step in to midfield.

With Fernando Torres still recovering full fitness after a knee injury, the Liverpool striker is set for a place on the bench, with David Villa playing upfront on his own for Spain. Support will come from David Silva and 22 year old Juan Mata on the wings.

KICK-OFF: WEDNESDAY JUNE 16th 15:00 GMT
