| COPENHAGEN - European champions Spain get their first test under new coach Vicente del Bosque in a friendly away to Denmark on Wednesday as the teams warm up for next month's opening World Cup qualifiers.
Del Bosque, who succeeded Luis Aragones after Spain's Euro 2008 triumph in Vienna on June 29, has sought continuity in a squad which faces Bosnia-Herzegovina on Sept. 6 and Armenia four days later in Group Five. The former Real Madrid coach has selected four uncapped players for the friendly at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen including Athletic Bilbao duo Fernando Amorebieta, 23, and Andoni Iraola, 26. Injury to Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas has opened the door for Sevilla's 20-year-old winger Diego Capel while up front relegated Real Zaragoza's Sergio Garcia has made way for Barcelona's 17-year-old prodigy Bojan Krkic. Spain lead the FIFA rankings while Denmark, the 1992 European Champions, have slipped to 36th place. The two countries were in the same Euro 2008 qualifying group with Spain winning both matches comfortably as Denmark failed to qualify. With the Danes having also missed the World Cup in Germany in 2006, there is intense pressure on coach Morten Olsen going into the Group One qualifiers when they visit Hungary and Portugal. Olsen must cope without injured FC Copenhagen winger Jesper Gronkjaer (knee) while his midfield will be missing AJ Auxerre's Thomas Kahlenberg (hip) and Fiorentina's Martin Jorgensen (groin). |
