Team News: Nine changes for experimental Spain

Nine changes for experimental Spain

Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has named an experimental side for the team that travel to the Netherlands for an international friendly this evening.

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea is selected, while Arsenal's Santi Cazorla is named alongside Chelsea playmaker Cesc Fabregas in midfield.

Del Bosque has also handed a debut to Malaga youngster Juanmi as the 2010 World Cup winners make nine changes from the side that beat Ukraine last Friday.

Meanwhile, Oranje boss Guus Hiddink has named a relatively strong lineup, with reported Manchester United target Memphis Depay partnering Klaas-Jan Huntelaar up top.

Wesley Sneijder is also named, while Manchester United man Daley Blind is expected to start in a midfield role for the World Cup semi-finalists.

Netherlands: Vermeer; Janmaat, De Vrij, Martins Indi, Willems; Blind, Narsingh, Klaassen; Sneijder, Huntelaar, Depay

Spain: De Gea; Carvajal, Pique, Albiol, Bernat; Suarez, Isco, Cazorla; Pedro, Fabregas, Juanmi.
