Spain coach Vicente Del Bosque is confident Andres Iniesta will be fit enough to start against Switzerland in their World Cup opener on Wednesday.
Iniesta suffered a thigh injury during a 6-0 friendly win over Poland and has been training away from his team-mates as he looks to recover in time.
And Del Bosque told La Siete: "Iniesta will play and he will be in the starting line-up. Tomorrow (Monday) he will train with the ball and there are still 72 hours left."
