A hamstring injury has Costa sidelined for Spain’s upcoming games against Ukraine and Netherlands. The Chelsea striker will return to London to undergo treatment at his club during the international break.
"Diego Costa, left the premises of the Spanish Football Federation this morning after undergoing several tests with the medical services of the RFEF," was what an official statement read.
