Barcelona midfielder Xavi is confident of making Spain's World Cup squad after returning to full training on Friday.

The 26-year-old has not played since damaging the cruciate ligament in his right knee during a training session in December, but expects to return to the Barca team in the near future.

"If everything goes as it has been doing and I don't suffer any setbacks I will definitely be going to the World Cup," Xavi told Marca.

"I hope to be able to play in Barcelona's last two or three league games, and if they reach the Champions League final I also hope to be able to help them in Paris.

"This Sunday against Sevilla is a bit soon but next week maybe I will get a run out if the coach agrees."
