Veteran Athletic Bilbao striker Aritz Aduriz was on Friday handed his first Spain call-up in five and a half years after being named in the squad for the international friendlies against Italy and Romania.
Aduriz, whose only international cap came against Lithuania in October 2010, has been rewarded for his prolific form for Athletic this season.
Spain coach Vicente del Bosque said of the 35-year-old: "Aduriz deserves to be here. He has scored a lot of goals and he is a player we all like."
Chelsea's Diego Costa misses out with Del Bosque suggesting it was on fitness grounds, rather than the disciplinary issues that followed his appearance for Guus Hiddink's men at Everton at the weekend.
Del Bosque said: "If Diego Costa was 100 per cent fit he would have been picked. The situation the other day was not so serious - and we are not here to punish."
"I spoke personally with Andres. He has a bit of a muscle problem, so we thought it better for him not to come," said Del Bosque. "Sergi Roberto has played everywhere and is capable of playing different positions. But we see him as a midfielder."
