MADRID -- Spain defender Dani Carvajal has missed a national team training session because of the flu. The Spanish football federation said the Real Madrid right-back did not practice Wednesday as a "precaution" ahead of the team's World Cup qualifier against Israel on Friday. Reserve goalkeeper Pepe Reina had missed a practice session on Tuesday and will not see action against Israel or France due to a right calf injury, the federation said. The federation said his return would depend on a re-evaluation of his condition. Spain and Italy lead Group G with 10 points each after four matches. Israel are third with nine points. Spain play a friendly against France in Saint-Denis four days after the home match against Israel in Gijon.
