No Shevchenko rift: Puyol

Spain defender Carles Puyol insists there is no bad blood between himself and Ukraine striker Andriy Shevchenko.

The pair are likely to come into close contact on Wednesday when the eastern Europeans make their World Cup debut at the Zentralstadion in Leipzig, although Shevchenko, Chelsea’s £30m (€44m) capture from AC Milan, will have to pass a fitness test on a knee problem if he is to take part.
