Spain coach Luis Aragones has called up uncapped Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas for Wednesday’s international friendly against the Ivory Coast.

Fabregas, 18, is named in Aragones’ 22-man squad after his convincing performance in Tuesday’s 1-0 Champions League victory against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

Aragones has surprisingly left out Chelsea defender Asier del Horno, who was sent off in midweek against Barcelona in the Champions League.

Liverpool goalkeeper Jose Reina and team-mates Luis Garcia, Xabi Alonso and Fernando Morientes have been selected as has Arsenal striker Jose Antonio Reyes.
