Fabregas back for Spain, but Bojan left out
MADRID, August 29 (National Team) - Fit-again midfielder CescFabregas has returned to the Spain squad for next month's World Cupqualifiers, but Barcelona striker Bojan Krkic has missed out.
Arsenalace Fabregas was absent from new Spain coach Vicente del Bosque's firstsquad selection due to injury, but he was included in a 20-man squad onFriday for the home double-header against Bosnia-Herzegovina andArmenia.
However, Bojan was one of three players to drop out ofthe 22-man party that travelled to Denmark for last week's friendlywin, along with Fernando Amorebieta, Ruben De la Red and Marcos Senna.
Bojanwas earlier this week linked with a possible call-up by new Serbia bossRadomir Antic, with the 18-year-old forward, who was born in Spain to aSerbian father and a Catalan mother, as of yet not capped by Spain.
DelBosque responded to that by insisting on Tuesday that "we considerBojan our player. Bojan will play with Spain in the future", but thatwas still not enough to win the teenager a place in Friday's squad.
The European champions host Bosnia-Herzegovina in Murcia on September 6 before meeting Armenia in Albacete four days later.
