New coach Luis Enrique brought in Celta Vigo striker Aspas as a replacement to join Alvaro Morata, Rodrigo and Marco Asensio as Spain's attacking options, the Spanish FA said on Monday.

Spain face England on Saturday at Wembley before hosting Croatia in Elche on Sept. 11 as the inaugural Nations League begins.
