Costa out of Spain squad

Diego Costa has withdrawn from the Spain squad for their upcoming fixtures against Ukraine and the Netherlands.

The striker was forced off with a hamstring strain during Chelsea's 3-2 win over Hull City in the Premier League on Sunday.

Malaga youngster Juanmi has replaced Costa in Vicente del Bosque's squad.

The 21-year-old, who is yet to play for Spain's senior team, has scored four goals in his last seven games in La Liga.

Spain continue their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign on March 27 when they host Ukraine.
