Vicente Del Bosque has named his Spain squad to face Armenia on
October 10 and Bosnia & Herzegovina four days later.

The most notable selections are Barcelona’s Andres Iniesta and Real
Madrid defender Sergio Ramos, both of whom have recently returned from
injury for their clubs.

Ramos’ team-mate Alvaro Arbeloa is unavailable through a knee injury
and has been replaced by Athletic Bilbao right-back Andoni
Iraola. Osasuna defender Nacho Monreal has also been called up again,
having made his debut earlier this year against Macedonia.

year, but are aiming to keep their 100 per cent record in the group
intact. La Furia Roja have only conceded two goals in their eight
matches so far.

Diego Lopez (Villarreal).

Defenders: Raul Albiol (Real Madrid), Joan Capdevila (Villarreal),
