Nacho, Oscar de Marcos given Spain call

Real Madrid defender Nacho and Athletic Bilbao midfielder Oscar de Marcos have been called into the Spain squad for their upcoming international friendlies against England and Belgium.

Neither Nacho nor De Marcos made the original listing, but injuries to Nacho's club teammate Sergio Ramos and Atletico Madrid right-back Juanfran has forced Vicente del Bosque to shuffle his back for the upcoming internationals.

Nacho, who has won two Spain caps, has enjoyed regular football with Real Madrid this season, while De Marcos has been handed his first call into the senior side.

Ramos was forced to withdraw after aggravating a shoulder problem during his team's 3-2 defeat to Sevilla on Sunday, while Juanfran picked up a thigh injury during Atletico's 1-0 win over Sporting Gijon.
