Injured Diego Costa withdraws from Spain squad

Chelsea striker Diego Costa has withdrawn from Spain's squad to face Macedonia, with young Barcelona forward Munir El Haddadi replacing him.

Costa struggled as Spain lost to a second-half goal from France's Loic Remy in a friendly on Thursday and it has now been revealed that suffered a hamstring injury.

The Spanish Football Federation confirmed the left hamstring injury on Friday, stating: "All the MRI tests done will be sent to Chelsea's medical teams which have already been in contact with the federation medical services."

The 19-year-old Munir has played just two official matches with the Barcelona team, both in La Liga. Versus Elche, in which he scored a goal, and against Villarreal. He played on Thursday against Hungary for Spain's under-21 side.

Spain's national team made the announcement via Twitter on Friday.
