Spain name seven Premier League players in squad to face England

Striker Diego Costa has been named in the Spain squad for their friendly match with England next Friday.

The Chelsea frontman had been left out for the fixtures held in October, but he is one of seven players based in the Premier League who could feature in Alicante.

Costa's Stamford Bridge teammates Cesar Azpilicueta, Cesc Fabregas and Pedro have also been selected by Vicente del Bosque.

Manchester United duo David de Gea and Juan Mata, as well as Arsenal playmaker Santo Cazorla, are also named in the 24-man group.

England manager Roy Hodgson announced his squad on Thursday.
