MADRID, Sept 3 — Iago Aspas has replaced Atletico Madrid forward Diego Costa in Spain’s squad for Uefa Nations League matches against England and Croatia after Costa dropped out for personal reasons.

New coach Luis Enrique brought in Celta Vigo striker Aspas as a replacement to join Alvaro Morata, Rodrigo and Marco Asensio as Spain’s attacking options, the Spanish FA said today.
