Read a full match report of the international friendly between Spain and Poland on Tuesday June 8 2010.
Fernando Torres marked his return from injury with a goal as Spain routed Poland 6-0 in their last World Cup warm-up match on Tuesday, but the European champions were left with doubts over Andres Iniesta after the playmaker came off early.
Iniesta provided the pass for David Villa's opener before starting the move which led to David Silva's 14th-minute goal. He came off in the 39th with an apparent leg problem.
Xabi Alonso scored in the 51st before setting up Cesc Fabregas seven minutes later in the Arsenal midfielder's second game back from a fractured leg.
Torres, who came on for David Villa after 66 minutes for his first appearance since having knee surgery in April, guided Pedro Rodriguez's pass home in the 76th before Pedro scored in the 81st.
Spain, who have won their last eleven games, go into the tournament in South Africa as favourites, although their optimism might be tempered by the injury scare to Iniesta.
The midfielder asked to be substituted just before the break after complaining of a thigh muscle problem.
