Diego Costa, Juan Mata, Fernando Torres not in Spain's Euro 2016 squad




Diego Costa, Juan Mata and Fernando Torres have not been included in the 25-man provisional Spain squad for Euro 2016.


Speaking at a news conference on Tuesday, Spain coach Vicente del Bosque indicated that Chelsea striker Costa had been excluded due to questions over his fitness.



"We have weighed everything up," Del Bosque said. "We do not want to call up too many people with doubts over their fitness."


Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla made his return to action in his club's 4-0 win over Aston Villa at the weekend, but he too misses out after having been sidelined with a knee injury from November.



"The Cazorla situation is very like Diego's -- he has been out five months, made a great effort to be ready, but we can't have many doubts," Del Bosque explained.


Manchester United midfielder Mata, meanwhile, was not selected on the basis of his patchy recent form.

"There is lot of competition. We can't bring them all, we just bring those most useful," the coach added.
