Spain striker Diego Costa could return from injury in his nation s final pre-FIFA World Cup friendly against El Salvador on Saturday.
Costa has not appeared since limping off in Atletico Madrid s UEFA Champions League final defeat to city rivals Real Madrid last month.
The Brazilian-born forward has been battling muscle problems in recent months, but Spain coach Vicente del Bosque will be hoping the 25-year-old will be fit enough to give his side an extra attacking dimension as they seek to defend their World Cup title.
And while a start in Spain s World Cup opener against the side they beat in the 2010 World Cup final the Netherlands may be unlikely, Costa could see some game time this weekend as he looks for match sharpness.
