Barcelona left back Jordi Alba back in Spain squad

MADRID (AP) — Barcelona left back Jordi Alba has been recalled by Spain for its UEFA Nations League match against Croatia.
Coach Luis Enrique has been heavily criticized for not including Alba in his first two squads since he took charge of Spain following a disappointing World Cup in July. Former Spain defender and Alba’s clubmate, Gerard Pique, recently called on the coach to pick Alba.
