Lopetegui has dropped Barcelona midfielder Sergi Roberto and Diego Costa, who has not been training with Chelsea and handed a recall to Chelsea's former Barcelona forwards Pedro Rodriguez and veteran David Villa, reports Xinhua news agency.
The call up for the 35-year-old Villa is a major shock given that he has spent the past three years playing in the American Major League Soccer (MLS) after leaving Barcelona and although he has remained a consistent goal scorer most thought his international days were behind him.
There is also a debut call-up for 23-year-old AC Milan winger Suso, a player who has built a far higher reputation in Italy than in his native Spain.
Borussia Dortmund defender Marc Bartra is also in the squad along with the in-form Real Madrid forward, Marcos Asensio as the Spanish look to seal their place in the 2018 World Cup finals in Russia.
