New Spain coach Luis de la Fuente recalled goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga and striker Iago Aspas as he named a 26-man squad on Friday for this month's European championship qualifiers against Norway and Scotland.
De la Fuente stuck with only 11 players who went to the World Cup in Qatar, where Spain were knocked out by Morocco in the last 16 under predecessor Luis Enrique, with Barcelona defender Jordi Alba among those overlooked.
Real Madrid defender Nacho Fernandez, 33, is also back in the fold for the first time since 2018 while Osasuna's David Garcia and Espanyol's Joselu earned their first call-ups. Atletico Madrid duo Koke and Marcos Llorente along with Real forward Marco Asensio were also left out.
