Alba is picked ahead of Barça teammates Marcos Alonso and Alejandro Balde
Luis Enrique has named his Spain squad for the upcoming games against Switzerland and Portugal in the UEFA Nations League.
Six Barcelona players have been included in the squad, including Jordi Alba, but there is no room for forward Ansu Fati on this occasion.
The same three goalkeepers -- Unai Simón, Robert Sánchez and David Raya -- have been kept from the last squad and Alba is joined in defence by Pau Torres, José Luis Gayá, Hugo Guillamón, Diego Llorente, Eric García, César Azpilicueta and Dani Carvajal.

Sergio Busquets, Rodri, Pedri, Koke, Gavi, Marcos Llorente and Carlos Soler are the players selected for the midfled positions and there are some surprises in attack.
Real Betis striker Borja Iglesias and Athletic Club winger Nico Williams are both handed their first call ups, along with Pablo Sarabia, Alvaro Morata, Marco Asensio, Yéremi Pino and Ferran Torres.
