BUENOS AIRES, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Coach Diego Maradona has called up uncapped Sevilla left winger Diego Perotti for Argentina's friendly against Spain on Saturday.

The 21-year-old was drafted in after injuries ruled out Jonas Gutierrez of Newcastle United and Atletico Madrid's Sergio Aguero, the Argentine Football Association said on its website (www.afa.org.ra) on Monday.

Perotti's father Hugo played alongside Maradona at Boca Juniors in 1981.
