Dalvin Cook Jersey .Spain will be seeking to avenge a loss to Italy at the European Championship that ended the teams bid for a third consecutive continental title.Spain coach Julen Lopetegui named Iniesta to his squad on Friday for the upcoming away qualifiers Oct. 6 and 9.The return of Andres is very good news for us, Lopetegui said. He has played consistently for the past month. We are happy he is here, above all given the rivals we have to face.The most notable inclusion was Napoli forward Jose Callejon in place of new Barcelona striker Paco Alcacer, who was dropped. He will join an attack consisting of Diego Costa, Alvaro Morata, Manuel Nolito Agudo and Victor Vitolo Machin.Midfielder Francisco Isco Alarcon returned to the squad in detriment of Real Madrid teammate Marco Asensio. Madrid defender Nacho Fernandez and Sevilla goalkeeper Sergio Rico were also back after missing Lopeteguis first list.The 2-0 loss to Italy in the round-of-16 of Euro 2016 marked the end of Vicente del Bosques long and successful stint as Spains manager. Lopetegui has since been tasked with rejuvenating a team that won the 2010 World Cup and 2008 and 2012 European Championships.Under Lopetegui, Spain beat Lichtenstein 8-0 its first qualifier for the 2018 World Cup after beating Belgium in a friendly in his debut. Iniesta missed those two matches with a knee injury.Both Italy and Albania won their opening qualifiers in Group G.While Italy is clearly Spains main rival for the group, Albania is riding high after winning its first match at a major tournament at Euro 2016.These are two important matches, but they are not definitive, Lopetegui said. We know how tough they will be and we are motivated to meet the challenge. We will not settle for draws.---Spain:Goalkeepers: David de Gea (Manchester United), Pepe Reina (Napoli), Sergio Rico (Sevilla).Defenders: Nacho Fernandez (Real Madrid), Jordi Alba (Barcelona), Dani Carvajal (Real Madrid), Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid), Gerard Pique (Barcelona), Javi Martinez (Bayern Munich).Midfielders: Jorge Koke Resurreccion (Atletico Madrid), Sergi Roberto (Barcelona), Saul Niguez (Atletico Madrid), Sergio Busquets (Barcelona), David Silva (Manchester City), Lucas Vazquez (Real Madrid), Thiago Alcantara (Bayern Munich), Andres Iniesta (Barcelona), Francisco Isco Alarcon (Real Madrid).Forwards: Jose Callejon (Napoli), Victor Vitolo Machin (Sevilla), Alvaro Morata (Real Madrid), Diego Costa (Chelsea), Manuel Nolito Agudo (Manchester City).

MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesotas seniors have encountered plenty of speed bumps during their careers, from the health trouble of former coach Jerry Kill that forced his retirement last season to several late-game lapses that cost the Gophers victories against ranked opponents.These soon-to-depart players wont leave the program without success, though, with 29 victories over the last four years. Thats the most by a senior class since 2006, a group that finished with 30 wins. The 2005 class left with 32 victories, a total that could still be matched this season.When they got here, everything wasnt all rosy and going in the right direction, and the culture had to change, and they were a big part of that, coach Tracy Claeys said, adding: We need to try to finish out the season and reward them.The Gophers (7-3, 4-3 Big Ten) host Northwestern (5-5, 4-3) on Saturday, a year after losing 27-0 on the road to the Wildcats. With one more win, the Gophers will reach eight victories for a third time in four seasons.If I could do it all over again, I would come back to Minnesota, said safety Damarius Travis, one of 13 seniors and 10 players in their fifth year in the program who will take the field at TCF Bank Stadium for the final time.Sometimes you lose sight of it with some of the things that go on and having a tough loss last weekend, quarterback Mitch Leidner said, looking back at the 24-17 defeat at Nebraska, but at the same time when you go back and reflect its pretty remarkable what weve been able to do.The Gophers also lost 29-26 at now-No. 9 Penn State in overtime and 14-7 at home to Iowa.Theyre probably one or two plays away, the games they ended up on the short end, of being undefeated, Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said.The Wildcats need to win one of their last two games against the Gophers and Illinois to become bowl eligible for a second straight season. Theyve steadied themselves after losing their first two games this year to Western Michigan and Illinois State.Im sure the noise was really negative. The only guys who were going to get it fixed were going to be the guys in the locker room, Fitzgerald said.Here are some key angles to the game:THORSON THRIVINGWildcats quarterback Clayton Thorson is coming off a career-best performance against Purdue last week, when he passed for 352 yards and three touchdowns. Paul Krause Jersey. That was the sophomores second 300-yard game this season and his fifth with three touchdown passes.Thorson ranks third in the conference in yards passing (2,571), yards per game (257.1) and touchdowns (19), the latter of which has him tied for third on Northwesterns single-season list. He needs three more to set a program record.CARR, THE DRIVERThorsons top target has been Austin Carr, who was named this week one of 10 finalists for the Biletnikoff Award given to the nations best wide receiver. Carr has a touchdown catch in eight of 10 games and leads the Big Ten in every major statistical category for receiving.The Gophers are third-to-last in the league with an average of 231 yards passing allowed per game, and theyre tied with Rutgers with a conference-most 20 touchdown passes surrendered.NEARING RECORDSJustin Jackson became Northwesterns first 1,000-yard rusher in three seasons last week against Purdue, and hes on pace to become the schools all-time leader in rushing and all-purpose yards. The Big Tens active career rushing leader with 3,642 yards, Jackson needs 151 yards to tie Darnell Autry for third on Northwesterns all-time list. With 4,159 all-purpose yards, he is 112 yards shy of Venric Mark for fourth place.Theyve had their years when they really relied on the pass and scrambling around a lot more, and this year, without a doubt, it all starts with the running back, Claeys said. Weve got to take him away.SAFE AT HOMEWith a win, the Gophers would match their best season record at TCF Bank Stadium, where they went 6-1 in 2014. Minnesota is 31-24 at home since the stadium opened on campus in 2009, including 23-11 over the last five years.THIRTY FOR THIRTYLeidner is the only player in Gophers history to reach 30 career touchdowns in both passing and rushing. Hes fifth on the all-time program list with 31 rushing scores and tied for sixth with 33 passing touchdowns.---For more AP college football: http://www.collegefootball.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-Top25 Cheap Jerseys Store Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Authentic Jerseys Jerseys NFL Cheap Wholesale Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
