Spain v Norway: Spanish midfielder Joaquin has been struggling with a groin injury all week and coach Inaki Saez is likely to give Athletic Bilbao's Joseba Etxeberria the berth on the right wing.
Jose Antonio Reyes may have done enough to oust Vicente from the other flank following his brilliant display for Sevilla against Real Madrid last week, while Fernando Torres should spearhead the attack alongside captain Raul.
Ivan Helguera appears to have shrugged off a sciatic nerve problem and will partner Carlos Marchena at centre-back.
Norway's Claus Lundekvam, part of a planned defensive wall to block the expected all-out Spanish attack, strained his right ankle in training on Wednesday but is expected to be fit.
Defender Andre Bergdolmo of Borussia Dortmund also missed training on Wednesday and pulled out on Friday. His likely replacement is Rosenborg's Jan Gunnar Solli.
SPAIN (probable): Casillas; Salgado, Helguera, Marchena, Puyol; Etxeberria, Albelda, Baraja, Reyes; Raul, Torres.
NORWAY (probable): Johnsen; Basma, Berg, Lundekvam, Gunnar Solli; Arne Riise, Andersen, Johnsen, Strand, Iversen; Flo.
Referee Graham Poll (England).
