Busquets & Pique picked for England friendly

Former Manchester United defender Pique, 22, and 20-year-old midfielder Busquets are part of a five-strong contingent from the Primera Liga leaders, alongside regulars Xavi, Carles Puyol and the fit-again Andres Iniesta.

"We have to take the team forward step by step and plan for the future," Del Bosque said at a news conference.

"It's good that we have quite a bit of competition up front," Del Bosque said.
