Report: David de Gea to start against Belgium

David de Gea will reportedly start between the sticks for Spain in Tuesday's international friendly against Belgium.

Despite the Manchester United goalkeeper's standing as one of the best stoppers in world football, he is still second choice for his national team behind Iker Casillas.

According to Marca, however, De Gea will replace Casillas between the sticks for Tuesday's clash in Brussels, while Mikel San Jose and Koke are also pushing for starts as head coach Vicente del Bosque shuffles his pack.

Diego Costa, who has struggled for form this season and only netted once in 10 appearances for Spain, meanwhile, is expected to be replaced by Alvaro Morata.

Spain will enter the match off the back of a 2-0 win over England on Friday.
