Vicente del Bosque says that he has had no problems between Alvaro Arbeloa and Iker Casillas while on duty with Spain.

Spain manager Vicente del Bosque is adamant that there are no problems between Alvaro Arbeloa and Iker Casillas.

The two have reportedly fallen out over comments made by the defender which appeared to back former Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho's decision to drop the goalkeeper from the team last season.

However, Arbeloa has since insisted that there is no rift between the pair, and Del Bosque agrees with the full-back's comments.

"I haven't seen anything that has caught my attention," Del Bosque said.

"They sit and eat at the same table, and if there is any disagreement, that is nothing strange because it happens in every team. There are 23 players and they all have their own opinions.

"Their relationship does not affect the overall health of the national team. If it isn't good at their clubs, that isn't my business."

Spain face the Republic of Ireland on Tuesday.
