Spanish international squad

Luis Aragonés took advantage of the changes in the cup to bring forward the announcement of his squad for the double header at the start of next month. Spain will be playing a friendly game against Canada in Santander on 3rd September, and then meet Serbia in a World Cup qualifier at the Vicente Calderón stadium in Madrid the following Wednesday. The coach only made one change from the squad he called up for the Uruguay game, Athletic's Orbaiz returning from injury to replace Sergio. With Luque moving to Newcastle, that means that six of the players are from the English Premier League. (26.08.05)
