Vicente del Bosque has insisted Barcelona and Real Madrid have not tried to influence him over his Spain squad for the game against Italy.
Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has dismissed suggestions Barcelona and Real Madrid have been trying to convince him not to use any of their players in the upcoming international friendlies against Italy and Romania.
Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets was sent home earlier this week due to a finger injury, while Andres Iniesta was not called up due to fitness concerns, leading to speculation Del Bosque was acting on the Catalans' request ahead of the upcoming Clasico.
