Saez rings the changes

Spain coach Inaki Saez is expected to make two changes to the team which beat Russia 1-0 on Saturday with Fernando Torres and Xabi Alonso tipped to replace Fernando Morientes and Ruben Baraja in the starting line-up for tomorrow’s encounter with Greece in Porto.

Spain coach Inaki Saez is expected to make two changes to the team which beat Russia 1-0 on Saturday with Fernando Torres and Xabi Alonso tipped to replace Fernando Morientes and Ruben Baraja in the starting line-up for tomorrow’s encounter with Greece in Porto.

However, it is unlikely that Juan Carlos Valeron, who scored the winner with his first touch after coming off the bench against the Russians, will start the game, and will have to be content with a place on the bench.

Otherwise, Saez will field the same team for a match which will see Spain qualify for the quarter-finals if they win.

Team: Casillas, Puyol, Marchena, Helguera, Raul Bravo, Albelda, Xabi Alonso, Etxeberria, Vicente, Raul, Fernando Torres.
