Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere was recalled to the England squad for the first time in nearly two years while manager Gareth Southgate called up three new faces for friendlies with the Netherlands and Italy.
Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope and central defender James Tarkowski were both called up to the squad for the first time.
The pair only broke into Sean Dycheโs side on a regular basis this season but have been instrumental in the Lancashire clubโs rise to seventh place.
Swansea defender Alfie Mawson was also given his maiden call-up while uncapped Bournemouth midfielder Lewis Cook, who was included in the squad for Novemberโs friendly with Brazil but did not play, was included again.
Goalkeeper Joe Hart remains in the squad despite a difficult season for West Ham United where he has been left out of the side for several games.
Another possibly surprising inclusion was Arsenal forward Danny Welbeck who has not been a regular starter for Arsene Wengerโs side this season.
But there was no place for Chelsea defender Gary Cahill who has recently been left out of his club side.
Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is missing for the two games due to an ankle injury.
Southgateโs side will play the Netherlands on March 23 in Amsterdam before hosting Italy at Wembley Stadium on March 27.
