Iniesta still a doubt for WC opener

(GSM) – Spain midfielder Andres Iniesta still remains a major doubt for his side’s World Cup opener with Switzerland after being forced to train alone.

The Barcelona playmaker, who had been injured recently, did not take part in training on Friday as Spain took their first training session since their arrival in South Africa.

Iniesta picked up a knock in their final warm-up victory over Poland on Tuesday.

Spain coach Vincente del Bosque will give Iniesta until the last minute to prove his fitness as he finalises his side for next Wednesday’s opener with Switzerland.
