Arsenal's Joel Campbell included in Costa Rica's 26-man World Cup squad

Arsenal's Joel Campbell has been named in Costa Rica's provisional 26-man squad for this summer's World Cup in Brazil.

Head coach Jorge Luis Pinto has chosen the 21-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Olympiacos, as well as Fulham striker Bryan Ruiz.

Costa Rica join England, Italy and Uruguay in Group D.

Oviedo confirmed on Twitter on Sunday that he had been omitted from the squad.
