Valdes starts for Spain against Nigeria

Victor Valdes will start in goal for Spain as they face Nigeria in their final Confederations Cup group match this evening.

La Roja play the African champions knowing that three points will see them top Group B and hand them a semi-final against Italy on Thursday. And they will do so with the Barcelona man between the posts.

Elsewhere, Vicente Del Bosque has gone back to the same XI that won against Uruguay in their first group match.

Andres Iniesta, Roberto Soldado and Pedro lead the line.

Spain: Valdes, Arbeloa, Ramos, Pique, Alba, Busquets, Xavi, Fabregas, Iniesta, Soldado, Pedro

Nigeria: Enyeama, Ambrose, Omeruo, Oboabona, Echiejile, Mikel, Ogude, Mba, Ideye, Akpala, Musa
