Sevilla striker Alvaro Negredo is hoping to be fit for this weekend\'s La Liga clash with Sporting Gijon after missing Spain\'s UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying double-header with a hamstring problem. The 26-year-old withdrew from the national team squad last week for the matches against Czech Republic and Scotland due to the injury and he is waiting on the results of a scan to see if he can face Sporting. He said on the club\'s website: \"The feelings are very good but we need to wait for the scan to see the state of the injury. I\'m a player who can play with pain, but this is a delicate area. But if nothing shows up in Thursday\'s scan then I\'m going to try and play.\" Missing the Spain matches was a blow for the former Real Madrid striker as he tries to earn himself a place in next year\'s EURO 2012 squad, but he hopes good club form will keep him at the forefront of Vicente del Bosque\'s plans. \"There\'s a long way to go, it\'s all related to doing things well with my team and then when the [Spain] coach gives you a chance, continue working along the line that I\'m following which I think is correct,\" he said. \"Now I have to maintain my level, make it difficult for the national team coach. The European Championships is a train that is far off but I will do everything possible to be on it.\"
