FIFA Confederations Cup 2013: Five players to watch out for when Spain face Nigeria

3. Cesc Fabregas

The Barcelona midfielder was surprisingly good against Uruguay and received an overwhelming ovation from the crowd when he was substituted in the 64th minute in that game. He did not have a brilliant year with Barcelona last season, but he seemed determined on the night. He has not been an undisputed fixture in this Del Bosque side, but it is about time that he won regular caps with the Spanish side on the ground of his consistent displays. Playing as a part of three-man forward line, Fabregas plays a fluid role. He can make that trademark stunning lofted pass to set up Soldado or get into goal-scoring position himself latching onto the service from Iniesta.
