MADRID: Spain manager Vicente del Bosque has fuelled speculation that Brazilian-born Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa will be called up for the world champions two remaining World Cup qualifiers.
Del Bosque will name his squad for the games against Belarus and Georgia on October 11 and 15 on Friday.
Costa has started the season in fantastic form and his eighth league goal in just seven matches. And Del Bosque is also convinced that his volatile nature wouldn’t be a liability heading into the World Cup.
“He is doing well enough to be called up and his character wouldn’t be a problem. He gives me the impression that he is a good guy. He has great spirit,” Del Bosque told Spanish television station Cuatro. AFP
