Harry Maguire, Kobbie Mainoo, Dominic Calvert-Lewin returned from the international wilderness while James Garner and Jason Steele received first England call-ups as Thomas Tuchel named an expanded 35-man squad.

Fikayo Tomori and Dominic Solanke were also brought in but there was no place for Trent Alexander-Arnold or Luke Shaw.

England are stepping up preparations for the summer with Wembley friendlies against Uruguay and Japan, with Tuchel naming an enlarged group in his penultimate selection before the World Cup.
