Del Bosque revealed his list of call-ups for the friendly against Panama.

Goalkeepers:
Victor Valdes (FC Barcelona) Iker Casillas (Real Madrid CF)

Defenders:
Martín Montoya (FC Barcelona) Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid CF) Raul Albiol (Real Madrid CF) Jordi Alba (FC Barcelona) Juanfran Torres (Atlético de Madrid SAD C.)

Midfielders:
Javi Martinez (Bayern Munich) Andres Iniesta (FC Barcelona) Cesc Fabregas (FC Barcelona) Sergio Busquets (FC Barcelona) Santiago Cazorla (Arsenal FC) Beñat Etxebarria (Real Betis SAD)

Forwards:
David Villa (FC Barcelona) Markel Susaeta (Athletic Club) Pedro Rodriguez (FC Barcelona) Jesús Navas (Sevilla CFSAD) Roberto Soldado (Valencia CF SAD) Juan Mata (Chelsea FC)

Looks like Xavi is going to get some extra time to rest, at this point he should only be playing in non-friendlies. I wouldn't be surprised to see Montoya to get the start @ RB w/ Arbeloa out. Wouldn't mind if Iniesta got some rest either. Maybe Del Bosque will start both Cazorla and Beñat. Would like to see Mata get a start because of his current form w/ Chelsea.

Am glad Xavi wasn't called. Yes, looks like Montoya will start.

Hope Villa starts as ST.

Benat, not good enough for Spain...and those kits are still pretty ugly...Why is it they are always trying to emulate some sort of military uniform?
