http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 are not ready to risk their first-choice centre midfielder during the game against Belarus as Iniesta is currently training with the Spanish national team and has a muscle strain.
The Spanish midfielder is of utmost importance to the Spanish national side, especially after what he managed to achieve during the Euro 2012.
Andres Iniesta was being labelled as the ‘Lionel Messi’ of the Spanish national team and after helping them win the Euro 2012, the Spaniard was later given the award for the best player in the tournament.
Later, the Spaniard also won the UEFA European Player of the Year award as players such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 were not chosen before him.
The Spaniard recently recovered from a muscle injury and played during the game against Real Madrid which took place over the weekend.
The Spaniard was expected to play in the game against Belarus as the international break has kicked off. However, since he is now suffering from a muscle strain, the Spanish team’s coach, Vicente Del Bosque, is not willing to risk him.
The Spaniard is definitely important to his national team, but there is no doubt that the Spanish national team has a lot of replacements in the midfield.
Xavi Hernandez and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santi-Cazorla-c32505, can play in the attacking midfield role.
Cesc Fabregas is also a player who can play in the midfield alongside the other Spanish players and there is no doubt that there is no shortage of players in Spain when it comes down to the centre of the pitch.
While speaking about Andres Iniesta, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Del Bosque said:
“We’ve been thinking about the game against the French and Iniesta’s situation is a little bit special. It’s likely could he play both matches but we need to pay special attention to him, because he arrived here with a muscle strain.”
“We've got players in the squad who can step in for him perfectly and this is not just a whim.”
“We understand that for him it might be more advisable to not play at all for the 180 minutes, but he will play in both games whether they are going well or badly. He is a special case.”
Spain are to face http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Belarus-c2849 during the FIFA World Cup 2014’s qualifiers taking place during the current international break.
