Spain won't reveal starting line-up yet

11:54 am on 7 July 2010

The Spain football coach, Vicente del Bosque, won't reveal whether he'll start his misfiring striker Fernando Torres in the second World Cup semi-final against Germany in Durban tomorrow.

Torres has started all of Spain's matches in South Africa except the opening Group H defeat to Switzerland, when he came on as a substitute.

But he's yet to score after returning from knee surgery shortly before the tournament.

Del Bosque says they'll play those who the coaching staff think will be the most important and well-suited to the occasion.

But he says if he does start Torres, the pressure won't influence him because he's used to playing at the top level.
