Vicente del Bosque hails Sergio Rico, Aleix Vidal

Spain boss Vicente del Bosque has hailed Sevilla duo Sergio Rico and Aleix Vidal after including the pair in his latest squad.

Del Bosque's 23-man squad was announced on Tuesday, and Rico and Vidal were two of the surprise names among the list.

Both have been excellent for Sevilla in the second half of the season, however, and Del Bosque has lavished praise on the pair.

"Sergio Rico and Aleix Vidal have had great seasons. We've been looking closely at other goalkeepers and Rico deserves to be here," Del Bosque told reporters at a press conference.

Spain will face Costa Rica in a friendly on June 11, before continuing their Euro 2016 qualification campaign against Belarus three days later.
