Spain Starting Lineup vs Ukraine: Morata to replace Costa

Striker Diego Costa pulled out of the selection due to injury and Alvaro Morata might be handed a rare start.

Spain are standing second in the group table with 9 points while Ukraine, with the same points stray behind in the third position with +5 goal difference. Slovakia stand top of the group with 12 points after winning all the games they have played, including Spain and Ukraine by 2-1 and 1-0 scoreline respectively.

Chelsea forward Diego Costa is ruled out of the fixture due to injury and Juventus striker Alvaro Morata will lead the line after being the only out and out striker in the squad. Uncapped Juanmi Lopez of Malaga should wait for his chance after being called up as replacement for the injured Costa in the 23 men squad. Andres Iniesta and David Silva will support Morata in the attacking third.
