Malaga striker Juanmi excited by Spain call

Malaga striker Juanmi is excited about his first Spain call-up.

Juanmi was selected after Chelsea striker Diego Costa pulled out of the squad due to a hamstring injury.

He said: "The coach has not told us anything about whether we will make our debut, being here is a very nice experience. The welcome has been very good, like one big family.

"I bring great enthusiasm, I'm looking forward to this wonderful experience."

On Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas, Juanmi added: "You can't throw anything at him He's a great example for all he has given to this team and because of the titles that he has won."
