Team News: Diego Costa makes Spain debut against Italy

Diego Costa makes his debut for Spain in their international friendly against Italy in Madrid.

Diego Costa will make his second international debut when he lines up for Spain in their international friendly against Italy tonight.

The Atletico Madrid striker has previously played for Brazil, also making his debut for them against Italy, but switched allegiances to represent Spain.

Meanwhile, Dani Osvaldo leads the attack for the visitors alongside Alessio Cerci.

The Italians are missing Mario Balotelli through injury, while Daniele de Rossi has been left out of the squad because of a disciplinary matter.
