England manager Thomas Tuchel has recalled Marcus Rashford and named potential debutants Dan Burn and Myles Lewis-Skelly in his first squad.
Rashford has been in fine form since joining Aston Villa on loan in January but has not played for his country since March 2024 – and missed out on the Euros.

Jordan Henderson is also back in, with the Ajax man not having played for England since November 2023.
Newcastle defender Burn, 32, has not represented his country at any level while at the other end of the scale 18-year-old Arsenal full-back Lewis-Skelly only broke into the Gunners team months ago.
Former Arsenal full-back Nigel Winterburn has been among those tipping him to feature for the Three Lions.
Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah and Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford are the other uncapped players involved but have previously been selected by the senior team.
England start their qualifying campaign for the 2026 World Cup with a double-header at Wembley against Albania and Latvia.
Right-back Kyle Walker is included despite leaving Manchester City for AC Milan on loan in January.
There was no place for Conor Gallagher, Jack Grealish or James Maddison, nor Morgan Gibbs-White, Jarrad Branthwaite and Angel Gomes.
Ollie Watkins and Harry Maguire appeared to miss out through injury.
