SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) - Spain will start Friday's Group B encounter against Portugal with Diego Costa leading up front and backed up by midfielders Andres Iniesta, Isco and David Silva.

Real Madrid's Nacho Fernandez, who has started only one of Spain's last six games, was chosen to begin at right back, with Dani Carvajal not fit enough to start.
