The Liverpool striker (11/4 to net the opener) has failed to hit the target at South Africa 2010, while Fernando Llorente looked more of a goal threat following his introduction against Portugal.

However, del Bosque has backed Torres and is ready to start him in Johannesburg.

He said: “Our striker right now is Fernando. He’s played four games, a lot of minutes and will play more.

“We’ve got full confidence in him, while we also know that Fernando Llorente brings a lot of qualities too. Both need to be full of confidence, both need to know they can be helpful.”
