Mata, Costa And Torres Miss Out As Spain Names Squad For Euro 2016

Vincente Del Bosque has opted to leave  Chelsea star, Diego Costa; Manchester United Midfielder,Juan Mata and the rejuvenated Atletico Madrid forward, Fernando Torres out of his 25 man list for this summer European championship taking place in France.

Diego Costa has struggled for form in the first half of the season as the Blues endured a torrid start to the campaign, but he ended the season with 16 goals in all competitions, leading to hope that he may be included in his country’s selection for the tournament in France while Torres was instrumental to Atletico’s march to the UEFA champions league final.
However, Del Bosque has overlooked the popular strikers, instead selecting Alvaro Morata, Aritz Aduriz and Nolito as his striking options.
Arsenal’s Santi Cazorla also misses out with his Arsenal teammate, Hector Bellerin only making it to the backup list.
