Moreno back for Spain, Suso and Luis Alberto called up

Liverpool left-back Alberto Moreno has been called in to the Spain squad for the first time in three-and-a-half years for this month s friendlies against Costa Rica and Russia.

Moreno won the last of his three senior caps against Bolivia in May 2014 while still with Sevilla.

Poor form led to the 25-year-old having limited first-team opportunities at Anfield last season, with manager Jurgen Klopp preferring career midfielder James Milner at full-back.

But Moreno has regained his spot as first-choice this term, starting eight Premier League matches and all four of Liverpool s Champions League group stages.

Uncapped Milan forward Suso is in Julen Lopetegui s squad once again, having won a call-up in September, while Lazio midfielder Luis Alberto is also chasing full international honours for the first time.
