Spain's Andres Iniesta will go to the World Cup after medical scans showed a leg injury was not as bad as feared.
Iniesta suffered an injury to his right thigh in Tuesday's 6-0 friendly win over Poland.
The Spanish federation said Wednesday that an MRI scan revealed swelling but it "does not appear to be a tear."
Spain didn't set a recovery period for the Barcelona midfielder, who left hospital saying "I'm OK."
