Chelsea ace Costa out of Spain's meeting with Macedonia

Diego Costa has been withdrawn from Spain's squad for their opening Euro2016 qualifier.

The Spaniards take on Macedonia in Valencia on Monday night but will be without the new Chelsea ace who has a hamstring injury.

Spain's football association said in a statement: "Diego Costa is not available for selection because of an injury to the hamstring muscle in his left thigh. All imaging tests will be sent to Chelsea."

Costa joined the Blues from Atletico Madrid for £32million in the summer transfer window and has already scored four goals in three matches for his new club.
