España call ups for friendly against Macedonia

[http://users.livejournal.com/_almagitana/]

Vicente Del Bosque made his squad announcement this morning for the game that will be played next tuesday in Macedonia. There are a few changes. Iniesta and Senna are still out, Ramos is also injured and Llorente and Pablito weren't called up (WTF??). The new kid on the block is Ignacio Monreal, a defender from Osasuna, shown here in his head shot and doing god knows what with Bojan...





FULL CALL UP:

KEEPERS:Iker Casillas (Real Madrid), José Manuel Reina (Liverpool) y Diego López (Villarreal).
DEFENDERS: Raúl Albiol (Real Madrid), Carlos Marchena (Valencia), Joan Capdevila (Villarreal), Álvaro Arbeloa (Real Madrid), Gerard Piqué (FC Barcelona), Carles Puyol (FC Barcelona) e Ignacio Monreal (Osasuna).
MIDFIELDERS:Albert Riera (Liverpool), David Silva (Valencia) Xavi Hernández (FC Barcelona), Xabi Alonso (Real Madrid), Santi Cazorla (Villarreal), Juan Manuel Mata (Valencia), Sergi Busquets (FC Barcelona) y Cesc Fábregas (Arsenal).
FORWARDS:David Villa (Valencia), Fernando Torres (Liverpool) y Dani Güiza (Fenerbache).

For those who like to keep track of these things we have: 3 Liverpool players called up, 4 from Valencia, 4 from Barcelona and 4 from Real Madrid. Oh the times, they are a changin'....

I think, for me, the biggest shock is Llorente being out, I think he has so much more potential than Guiza and much less baggage.

Yeah, he's got an inflammation of his Achilles tendon, so hasn't gone on the RM USA tour - hopefully plenty of rest will sort him out :)
