Spain hasn't played a match yet but the good news is rolling in for the team that many (cough cough Shimer) have picked to win the 2010 World Cup.
After practice today, it was announced that Andres Iniesta, Fernando Torres and Cesc Fabregas are all available for tomorrow morning's Group H match against Switzerland (10:00 a.m.).
"Iniesta trained well" Monday and Tuesday, Spain coach Vicente del Bosque said. "We still have some hours to talk with the doctors and it's they who will make the decision. We're thinking about [Wednesday], but we're also mindful that we have a chance to go forward in this competition."
Del Bosque added that Fernando Torres could also start in the Group H match. Cesc Fabregas is almost certain to make his 51st appearance for Spain. Both players have recovered from right leg injuries.
"All 23 players are available," said Del Bosque, who left his starting lineup a secret.
Fabregas is the most likely to start of the three, because Del Bosque can employ David Villa alone as striker in front of a five-man midfield.
"Everyone ... finished the session and, at a medical level, we couldn't ask for any more," said Oscar Celada, the team's chief doctor.
With Chile and Honduras also in the Group, Spain is clearly the front-runner in this somewhat average foursome. Let's see what the Spanish can do vs. Switzerland as they have all their weapons at their disposal.
