Also called up for the first time at senior level is Swansea City’s Alfie Mawson, who made six appearances for England U21s in the 2016-17 season ending with an impressive Euro campaign last summer.
Liverpool duo Jordan Henderson and Adam Lallana return to the squad after injuries, while there is a recall for Arsenal's Jack Wilshere.
