Del Bosque confident on Cesc

Spain coach Vicente del Bosque said he was confident Cesc Fabregas would overcome a thigh problem to participate in next month's Euro 2012 finals.

"We hope Fabregas will be on good form and he's forecast to be at the finals," said Del Bosque after a 4-1 friendly win in Bern over South Korea.

Barcelona's Fabregas has been out of action with a thigh strain picked up in the May 25 Spanish Cup final win over Bilbao.

Del Bosque does at least have solid back up for the former Arsenal man in the shape of Benat Etxebarria of Betis who turned in a fine showing against the Koreans.
