Madrid, May 26

Chelsea striker Diego Costa has been omitted by Spain boss Vicente del Bosque from his 24-man squad for a friendly against Costa Rica and a Euro 2016 qualifier away to Belarus next month.

Sevilla duo Sergio Rico and Aleix Vidal are rewarded for their fine form with the Europa League finalists with their first call-up.

However, there was also disappointment for Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera and Bayern Munich’s Thiago Alcantara as they too miss out.

Costa returned to action for Chelsea’s two final Premier League games after over a month out with a recurring hamstring problem, scoring a penalty in the English champions’ 3-1 win over Sunderland on Sunday to take his tally for the season to 21. — AFP
