Sport Internazionale is reporting that Busquets, who has just been released from his new title block, is expected to play in the third group game against Slovakia to improve Spain's midfield.
Busquets, who missed the first round of the competition because his new crown had been on the block since June 6, was back in the squad from the start and took part in the fitness session on Friday, and Enrique did not put him in the squad for the match against Poland.
Spain's squad includes nine players from

The goal was to win the fourth Delaunay Cup in the team's history, but they were sniped by a tough Swedish team in the first match of the group stage, and Busquets proved to be the leader with 122 national team appearances in a Spanish team that was relatively short on big game experience.
With Hernandez temporarily assuming the commanding midfield position in the absence of Professor Bu, Enrique acknowledged that the captain is ready and knows what a boost Busquets can bring to the team: "Busquets is the captain, he's very important for everyone, he has a great significance on the pitch."
