    Pique a doubt for Spain



    New Spain coach Julen Lopetegui may be without Gerard Pique for La Roja's upcoming fixtures against Belgium and Liechtenstein after the defender suffered a knock in Barcelona's win over Athletic Club on Sunday evening.
    He suffered muscle pain during the match and left with a dressing on his calf muscle, so will be assessed by the national team's medical staff when he links up with the squad at the Las Rozas training complex later on Monday.
    They will determine whether or not the centre-back can feature in the friendly against Belgium in Brussels on September 1 and the World Cup qualifier against Liechtenstein Leon on September 5.

    If the 29-year-old is forced to sit these matches out then his place alongside Sergio Ramos in the starting lineup could be taken by Marc Bartra or Javi Martinez, the other two centre-backs included in Lopetegui's first squad.
