Pedro has been reintroduced into Spain's national setup after almost a year of being overlooked.

The Chelsea winger will have a chance to win a cap for the first time in nine months when Spain faces Israel in a World Cup qualifier on March 24 before a friendly clash with France four days later.

Spain manager Julen Lopetegui also recalled Gerard Deulofeu, who hasn't suited up for La Furia Roja since winning his first cap ahead of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Meanwhile, Lopetegui opted to include Iago Aspas after the forward managed to rejuvenate his career at Celta Vigo this season.

The full squad is as follows:

Goalkeepers: David De Gea (Manchester United), Pepe Reina (Napoli), Sergio Rico (Sevilla).
