Euro2008 Quarter Final Preview ~ Spain v Italy

Spain coach Luis Aragones is likely to revert to his first-choice XI having fielded his reserves in the 2-1 win over Greece. Aragones gave a strong indication to what his starting line-up might be when he played the XI in the first two games against the substitutes on Friday.

Italy midfielders Gennaro Gattuso and Andrea Pirlo are suspended. Alberto Aquilani and Massimo Ambrosini will probably come in while Daniele De Rossi and Simone Perrotta may start. "Alberto Aquilani and I can co-exist quite well," Ambrosini said. "But the choice is up to coach Roberto Donadoni. A lot will depend on what formation we use." Camoranesi added: "I've started twice, which pleases me, but I'm not happy with how I've played. I wanted to be decisive, but I haven't contributed anything."

In defence, 35-year-old Christian Panucci, a regular full-back, is likely to play alongside Giorgio Chiellini in the heart of the Italian defence. Italy have a number of key players who are just one booking away from a one-match suspension - Giorgio Chiellini, Luca Toni, Daniele De Rossi and Gianluca Zambrotta.

In the Spanish camp, despite the likelihood of playing the starting XI that faced Russia and Sweden, boss Aragones said he had not decided on his line-up. "Things are basically clear but the play of some has me thinking, I'm not sure which team will play," he added.

Meanwhile, the coach played down a heated discussion he had with full-back Sergio Ramos in a practice session this week. Ramos was reported to have been pulled aside by teammate Carlos Marchena to bring an end to the argument that came a day after the coach criticised him in a news conference. "He expressed his opinion, that's all," said Aragones, responding to a question about the spat.
