Spain Lineup World Cup

A long season has left key players carrying injuries, while has time caught up with Xavi's career?

Playing at centre-back in a team bristling with stars can result in getting overlooked but Spain would truly miss enterprising yet robust defender Sergio Ramos.

Capped 115 times at the age of 27, he has started 18 of their last 19 tournament matches and was ever-present during qualifying.

Striker Diego Costa chose adopted nation Spain over Brazil, the country of his birth, and can expect a hostile reception from home fans.

The 25-year-old played twice for Brazil in March 2013 but was able to switch allegiance as neither were competitive fixtures.

Vicente Del Bosque is aiming to become only the second coach in history to win two World Cups. Add in the 2012 Euros and it makes Real Madrid's decision to sack him after two Champions League wins because they wanted "someone with more emphasis on tactics, strategy and physical preparation" seem a little foolish.
