Aspes replaces Chelsea forward, Diego Costa who has been forced to withdraw from the squad as the result of a thigh injury which has been troubling him since playing against Everton in the English Premier League at the weekend, reports Xinhua.
Thursday's call-up is a reward for Aspes' excellent start to the season which has seen him score six goals in 11 league games for his club, following on
from last season when he scored 18 goals in 40 appearances.
Apses will compete for a place in the starting XI on Saturday against Real Madrid forward Alvaro Morata and Athletic Club Bilbao's veteran forward, Aritz
Adutiz, who a week ago scored five goals in a Europa League tie against Belgian side Genk.
