(GSM) – Spain coach Vicente Del Bosque is hoping midfielder Andres Iniesta will be able to regain his fitness in the World Cup group H clash with Chile on Friday.
The 26-year-old Barcelona midfielder picked up a thigh injury in last week’s shocking 1-0 defeat to Switzerland and was an unused substitute in the 2-0 win over Honduras yesterday.
“Yes I think so, we are optimistic,” Spain coach told at a news conference in Potchefstroom on Tuesday when asked about Iniesta’s fitness.
“He has been a regular in our recent matches and always with a positive result,” he added.
Spain play Chile at Pretoria’s Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Friday.
