Africa. But Costa suffered a rupture in the left thigh during the match draw at
Atletico Madrid away to Villarreal last Sunday, and will miss both matches
against Equatorial Guinea on Saturday and then South Africa match on Tuesday.
This means that Del Bosque will be in front of him a unique opportunity to
experience Costa before choosing the menu to participate in the World Cup,
through the friendly match against Italy on the fifth of March.

rather than a solution for Del Bosque." Because of the absence of Costa,

the ranks of Matador since last August.
Llorente said, “I am really happy
to be back to the menu, I always feel proud to wear the red shirt." As Del
