Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah has been handed his first senior England call-up after being picked in the squad for September’s matches against Ukraine and Scotland.
Nketiah has scored twice in his three Premier League appearances this season and is England’s record Under-21 scorer with 16 goals.
Al Ettifaq midfielder Jordan Henderson has been named in Gareth Southgate’s 26-man squad despite England’s vice-captain moving to the Saudi club this summer.
Former Manchester United captain Harry Maguire and Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips are also included despite neither player having played a minute of club football this season.
But Chelsea forward Raheem Sterling misses out despite a strong start to the new season having scored twice in the Blues’ 3-0 win over Luton.
The 28-year-old respects Southgate’s decision to leave him out of the squad and, in the meantime, will continue to focus on his domestic form at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea do have three representatives in the squad, however, with defender Levi Colwill receiving his first formal senior call-up after being promoted to the squad in June. He joins team-mates Ben Chilwell and Conor Gallagher in the squad.
Former Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori, who now plays for AC Milan, has been recalled by Southgate.
But Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope, West Ham midfielder James Ward-Prowse and Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins are all notable absentees.
England face a Euro 2024 qualifier against Ukraine in Poland on September 9 before taking on Scotland at Hampden Park in a friendly on September 12 as part of the 150th anniversary celebrations of their first match in 1872.
