Torres/Iniesta Injury Scares


Spain have a Euro 2008 injury worry over Fernando Torres after the star striker suffered an ankle strain that kept him out of training on Monday evening.

However, team doctor Jorge Candel claims the knock, to his right ankle, will not keep him out of Spain's final warm-up game against the USA on Wednesday.

The Liverpool man is crucial to his country's hopes, having cemented his place as coach Luis Aragones's first-choice goalscorer and found the net over 30 times in his first season in English football.

However, midfielder Andres Iniesta will definitely miss the game after falling victim to a bout of gastroenteritis.

The Barcelona man did not travel with the rest of the squad to Santander but is expected to make a quick recovery in time for Spain's opening Group D game against Russia on June 10th.
