Atletico Madrid forward Diego Costa says that he is "very happy" to have made the Spain squad for the World Cup this summer.

Atletico Madrid forward Diego Costa has revealed his delight after being named in the 23-man Spain squad for the World Cup this summer.

It had been feared that the 25-year-old would miss out with a hamstring injury, but the Brazilian-born striker made the cut when Vicente del Bosque named his travelling party on Saturday.

"The truth is I'm very happy. It's a happy day for me. I am thrilled to go to the World Cup in Brazil with Spain. I am very happy," he told reporters.

"I'm very well. I've been working with physios and rehabilitation trainers and I feel great. Starting tomorrow I will work with the team under Vicente Del Bosque.

"I hope to have a few minutes next week in the game against El Salvador in Washington."

Spain face El Salvador in a friendly on June 7 before opening their World Cup Group B campaign against Netherlands on June 13.
