Madrid - Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has called up Malaga forward Juanmi for the first time as cover for Diego Costa for Friday's Euro 2016 qualifier at home to Ukraine and a friendly away to Netherlands next week.

Brazil-born Costa, who missed Spain's last two games due to injury, scored in Chelsea's 3-2 Premier League victory at Hull City on Sunday but had to come off with about 15 minutes left due to a hamstring problem.

"Costa will undergo tests on Monday in London and the results will be available to Spain's medical staff for their evaluation," the Spanish soccer federation (RFEF) said on Spain's official site (www.sefutbol.com) on Monday.
