Spain coach Luis Enrique has handed Barcelona's Guinea-Bissau-born teenager Ansu Fati his first call up to the senior squad.

Fati, 17, has been called up for September's Uefa Nations League games against Germany and Ukraine after a breakout season at Camp Nou, scoring eight goals in 33 matches.

"He has the quality to play with us. He has excellent statistics, the only player with a better minutes played/ goals scored ratio at Barca is Lionel Messi," Enrique said.

"He has everything so to become an important player in the squad."

Enrique, who returned to the Spain job in November after resigning last June to take care of his daughter, Xana, who died of cancer, has also included uncapped Wolves attacker Adama Traore, Manchester City defender Ferran Torres and Sevilla's Sergio Reguilo.

There were some high-profile omissions, including Barca defender Jordi Alba and Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez miss out, while Paris Saint-Germain duo Ander Herrera and Pablo Sarabia miss out as he will contest Sunday's Champions League final against Bayern Munich.

"If I could have I would have picked 30 players ... But it's impossible. The PSG players could have been there as well as Dani Ceballos and Gerard Moreno ... But I can't pick them all," Enrique said.

Spain head to Germany on September 3 before hosting Ukraine three days later in games expected to be played behind closed doors due to the coroanvirus pandemic.
