With the Euro 2012 preparations at full swing, the Spanish national team reached Austria in order to train; however, they were without all the Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao stars.
The Spanish national team will be defending their title in the upcoming Euro 2012. This is going to be a tough year for the current Euro winners as they are the favourites to win the title alongside teams like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904.
The Spanish national team reached Austria as they will begin training for the upcoming international competition.
Since http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Austria-c2844.
Victor Valdes, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Llorente-c13671 were all not present in the training session, as they are currently preparing for the Copa del
Rey final taking place on the 25th of this month.
However, the Real Madrid stars, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Xabi-Alonso-c37045, were present in Schruns, in the west of Austria.
This Euro Cup is going to be a tough one for the Spanish national team, as they are paired up with a relatively tough group.
Spain will begin their title defence from the group stages and they have been paired up with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Croatia-c2879.
Even though these teams are not heavy contenders of winning the European trophy, they are definitely the teams who can cause a big upset; just like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Switzerland-c3016 did back in the FIFA World Cup 2010.
This training session in Austria is going to give the Spanish national team an opportunity to play two friendly games in Switzerland, before they take on the challenge of defending their title later in June.
Spain’s first friendly fixture is going to be against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Serbia-c3002, and then they later take on the challenge of South Korea.
The Spanish national side is going to be complete once the players from Barcelona and Bilbao arrive at the training camp.
However, there are two crucial players who will be missing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Villa-c10629.
Both the players are extremely crucial for the Spanish national team, but they will be missing out due to their respective injuries.
While Carles Puyol is out due to an injured knee, David Villa is recovering from a broken tibia since December and has failed to recover in time to play in the Euro 2012.
