MADRID: Spain manager Vicente del Bosque on
Tuesday named the uncapped David de Gea,
Dani Carvajal and Ander Iturraspe in his
provisional list of 30 players for the World Cup in
Brazil next month.
Del Bosque will announce his final squad of 23
players to defend the trophy they won for the
first time four years ago on May 25, a day after
Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have disputed
the Champions League final in Lisbon.
Manchester United's De Gea replaces the injured
Victor Valdes as the third-choice goalkeeper,
whilst Carvajal and Iturraspe are rewarded for
their excellent seasons with Real Madrid and
Athletic Bilbao respectively by offering cover in
defence and midfield.
Nationalised Brazilian striker Diego Costa is included among the
forwards after scoring 36 goals this season which have propelled
Atletico to the brink of a Champions League and La Liga double.
Costa is one of four Atletico players included along with right-back
Juanfran, midfielder Koke and Spain's all-time leading goalscorer at
international level David Villa.
Chelsea's Fernando Torres is also included despite another difficult
season at club level as are Juventus' Fernando Llorente and Alvaro
Negredo of Manchester City with only one likely to make the final cut.
Barcelona remain the most represented club with seven players from the Catalan club selected,
including Andres Iniesta who scored the winner in the World Cup final back in 2010.
Provisional squad:
Goalkeepers: Iker Casillas (Real Madrid), Pepe Reina (Napoli/ITA), David de Gea (Manchester
United/ENG)
Defenders: Dani Carvajal, Sergio Ramos (both Real Madrid), Gerard Pique, Jordi Alba (both
Barcelona), Cesar Azplicueta (Chelsea/ENG), Juanfran (Atletico Madrid), Javi Martinez (Bayern
Munich/GER), Raul Albiol (Napoli/ITA), Alberto Moreno (Sevilla)
Midfielders: Sergio Busquets, Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas (all Barcelona),
Xabi Alonso (Real Madrid), Ander Iturraspe (Athletic Bilbao), David Silva (Manchester
City/ENG), Santi Cazorla (Arsenal/ENG), Koke (Atletico Madrid), Tiago Alcantara (Bayern
Munich/GER), Juan Mata (Manchester United/ENG)
