Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite and Newcastle forward Anthony Gordon have received their first call-ups to the senior England squad for this month’s friendlies against Brazil and Belgium.
Liverpool defender Joe Gomez returns to the squad after a four-year absence, while Brentford striker Ivan Toney is included for the first time since his eight-month ban for gambling.
Marcus Rashford keeps his place despite some poor displays for Manchester United but West Ham’s on-loan midfielder Kalvin Phillips has been dropped.
The upcoming games represent manager Gareth Southgate’s last chance to assess players before picking his squad for this summer’s Euro 2024.
Branthwaite, 21, and Gordon, 23, were part of the England Under-21 team who won their European Championship in Georgia last year.
England meet Brazil on 23 March and Belgium three days later in a Wembley double-header that represents the last international fixtures before the end of the season.
Southgate’s team are scheduled to play two further warm-up matches before Euro 2024, against Bosnia and Iceland in early June.
