Spain coach Vicente del Bosque admits drawing France in their World Cup qualifying group is not ideal.

Belarus, Georgia and Finland make up the rest of the five-team group.

"France are our main rivals in this group but we must also have respect for every opponent," Del Bosque said.

"We do not know the weather we may face on such trips and there are a lot of variables in each game, which we will need to deal with. Today, you cannot take anyone for granted."
