International: Confederations Cup preview

Cesc Fabregas is aiming to help Spain complete a clean sweep of major international silverware when the reigning world and European champions go for glory in the Confederations Cup.

Several other nations will be looking to upset the apple cart though, including a Uruguay side boasting the formidable attacking talents of Luis Suarez, Edinson Cavani and Diego Forlan. Uruguay had been in disappointing form since last summer but back-to-back 1-0 wins over France and Venezuela in the last week has been a much-welcomed boost for Oscar Tabarez's men heading into the Confederations Cup - a competition they also need to win to complete the set. Captain Diego Lugano said: "The Confederations Cup is a spectacular tournament, involving the best teams in the world and, for that reason, everybody will be watching. "It's the only trophy that Uruguay are missing and we're going to go and try and win it." The tournament kicks off on Saturday when Brazil face Japan in Brasilia.
