Spain's preliminary 30-player squad for the World Cup featured few surprises, with Brazilian-born striker Diego Costa included in the team.

The defending champions sent their preliminary list to FIFA on Tuesday, with coach Vicente del Bosque to announce the final 23-man squad on May 25.

Costa leads the attack, with Atletico Madrid teammate David Villa and Chelsea's Fernando Torres also included.

David de Gea replaces injured goalkeeper Victor Valdes.

Fullback Alvaro Arbeloa, who has been part of Spain's two European Championship triumphs and World Cup win in South Africa, was left out despite returning from a long-term injury.

Spain is vying to become the first nation to win four straight major international trophies.
