FIFA World Cup 2014: Spain 23 Man Squad

Spain coach, Vicente Del Bosque, has selected his 23 man squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

The Spanish side, which lifted the tournament in 2010, has a similar looking squad in 2014, with stars like Cesc Fabregas, Andrew Iniesta and David Silva heading up an exciting midfield. (click here for the 2010 squad)

There is a place for out-of-sorts Fernando Torres, even though the Chelsea man has been bereft of form in recent seasons. Nevertheless, Spain are likely to start the tournament as favourites of many, and will look to repeat the feat achieved in 2010.

If they are to lift the tournament this time around, Spain will need to progress from a difficult group, which contains their 2010 final opposition, Netherlands, as well as Chile and Australia.
