Valdes to start against Nigeria

Vicente Del Bosque is set to give Victor Valdes the chance to play in goal for Spain when they face Nigeria on Sunday.

La Roja play the African champions this weekend, knowing that a win would see them finish top of Group B.

And according to AS, the 62-year-old Coach is likely to give the Barcelona man some playing time after failing to make an appearance in the Confederations Cup so far.

Iker Casillas played in the opening game against Uruguay, whilst Pepe Reina started in the 10-0 win over Tahiti on Thursday.

Otherwise, the tactician is set to name the same starting XI that beat the South Americans last weekend.
