Spanish national team coach Vicente del Bosque called up Valencia striker Aritz Aduriz on Monday to replace injured Liverpool forward Fernando Torres for the upcoming 2012 European Championship qualifiers against Lithuania and Scotland.
Aduriz was one of four new faces brought into the Spain squad due to injuries. The other three are right winger Pablo Hernandez, also from league-leader Valencia, and midfielders Bruno Soriano and Borja Valero from second-placed Villarreal.
