Del Bosque recalls Navas for England game
MADRID (Reuters) -- Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has recalled Sevilla winger Jesus Navas for the world and European champions' friendlies against England at Wembley on Saturday and in Costa Rica three days later.

Goalkeepers: Iker Casillas (Real Madrid), Victor Valdes (Barcelona), Pepe Reina (Liverpool)
Defenders: Alvaro Arbeloa (Real Madrid), Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid), Raul Albiol (Real Madrid), Gerard Pique (Barcelona), Carles Puyol (Barcelona), Jordi Alba (Valencia), Ignacio Monreal (Malaga)
