Albiol fractures cheekbone

The Real Madrid centre-half had a scan that confirmed the fracture and has left the national team's training camp, Real said in a statement.

The Spanish club did not say how long he might be sidelined.

Midfielder Xabi Alonso, Albiol's Real team-mate, trained normally in Sunday's evening session despite sustaining a gashed shin in Friday's 2-0 win against Czech Republic.

"Alonso trained without any apparent discomfort and said he felt fine, although he was wearing a large bandage on his right leg," the Spanish football federation stated.

Full-back Sergio Ramos, another Real player, trained apart from the rest of the squad after being substituted at half-time in Prague as a precaution but should be back with his team-mates for Monday's session in Alicante.

Spain, the world and European champions, qualified for the Euro 2012 finals in Ukraine and Poland with two games to spare and top Group I with a perfect 21 points from seven matches.

With one game to play, Scotland are second on 11 points and a win against Spain would secure them a play-off berth. Czech Republic, who play in Lithuania on Tuesday, are third on 10.
