Spain's last match in the
qualifying round of Euro 2000 against Israel will be played on Sunday
10th October in Albacete. Spain are already qualified for the finals
in Holland and Belgium, but the game is important for Israel who still
have a chance of finishing runners up. José Antonio Camacho
only included one new cap in his squad, Valladolid's goalkeeper César,
who has already agreed to join Real Madrid next season (by coincidence
Deportivo's defender César got his first cap a couple of games
ago and is also in the squad). With Cañizares injured, Toni
will be probably be the first choice keeper, but César could
make an appearance later in the game. Real Sociedad's De Pedro and
Aranzábal were the two players left out from the squad chosen
to play the last matches against Austria and Cyprus. The squad is as
follows:
Keepers: Toni (Atlético
de Madrid), César (Valladolid)
Defenders: Sergi (Barcelona), César
(Deportivo), Michel Salgado and Hierro (Real Madrid), Paco (Zaragoza)
Midfield: Guerrero (Athletic
Bilbao), Valerón (Atlético de Madrid), Guardiola and
Luis Enrique (Barcelona), Engonga (Mallorca), Mendieta (Valencia)
Forwards: Etxeberria and Urzaiz
(Athletic Bilbao), Munitis (Racing), Raúl and Morientes (Real
Madrid)
Camacho surprised everyone
calling up the entire under 20 world championship winning squad to
play in the under 21 match against Israel on 9th October. Only
Aranzubia, Gabri, Xavi and Marchena remained from the squad who
qualified for the finals a month ago. The full squad is as follows:
Aranzubia, Yeste (Athletic
Bilbao), Bermudo, Gabri, Xavi (Barcelona), Varela (Betis), Coira
(Celta), Colsa (Racing), Aganzo (Real Madrid), Barkero (Real
Sociedad), Marchena (Sevilla), Alvaro (Zaragoza), Felipe
(Extremadura), Pablo (Huelva), Alex (Mérida), Jusue, Orbaiz
(Osasuna), Rubén (Sporting). |
