Luis Garcia: Diego Costa can lead Spain to Euro 2016 glory

Former Spain international Luis Garcia believes Diego Costa and Isco will be vital for the reigning European champion at the Euros.

Luis Garcia has backed Diego Costa to be Spain's starting striker at Euro 2016 and is confident the reigning European champion can make it three in a row with the Chelsea man up front.

Costa was left out of Spain's squad for the upcoming friendlies against Italy and Romania with reports suggesting Vicente del Bosque was unhappy with the forward's discipline, but the Spain coach clarified on Tuesday the striker's absence is due to a quadriceps injury.
