Gerard Piqué, Sergio Busquets, Xavi Hernández and Andrés Iniesta have all been included in the Spain squad by Vicente del Bosque for the forthcoming World Cup qualifying double header against Turkey.

While Xavi and Iniesta are regulars, Piqué and Busquets have retained their places in the squad, while Carles Puyol has not been called up as he is currently injured and is suspended for one of the games.

Two matches

The Spanish side will play Turkey home and away in Group Five next week as they meet in the Santiago Bernabéu on March 28 and then in Istanbul on April 1. Spain are currently top of the group with 12 points, while Turkey are just behind them in second place with eight points.
