Iniesta's return from injury encourages Spain

Austria: Andres Iniesta's return from injury was about the most encouraging aspect of Spain's 3-2 victory over Saudi Arabia, according to coach Vicente del Bosque.

Spain needed a stoppage-time goal on Saturday to pick up the win, from which Del Bosque was taking some positives.

Del Bosque says "we've worked well these days and it was another step in our preparations" as the European champions ready for their June 16 World Cup opener against Switzerland.

"We have to be happy with the evolution of Iniesta, who hasn't played in two months so there's a very good feeling," Del Bosque said of the Barcelona midfielder.

Del Bosque says Cesc Fabregas will play in Thursday's friendly against South Korea.
