GOALKEEPERS: Jordan Pickford, Nick Pope, Dean Henderson DEFENDERS: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Kyle Walker, Joe Gomez, Tyrone Mings, Michael Keane, Harry Maguire, Kieran Trippier MIDFIELDERS: James Ward-Prowse, Kalvin Phillips, Harry Winks, Mason Mount, Phil Foden, Declan Rice, Eric Dier, ATTACKERS: Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood, Raheem Sterling, Jadon Sancho, Danny Ings, Tammy Abraham.https://twitter.com/England/status/1298243746631421957 Phillips joins the senior England squad after helping Leeds gain promotion to the Premier League despite having not yet kicked a ball in the top flight or in any England youth team. Few would argue his call-up is undeserved, though, given the quality he has displayed on and off the ball for Bielsa's side. It is also thought that he has been selected for these competitive games in order to fend off interest from the Jamaican national team.

Senior players including Jordan Henderson are rested while there is a notable lack of natural left-backs in the squad, which could mean Tyrone Mings playing out of position. Kieran Trippier returns to the squad having done enough to impress Southgate during his first year at Atletico Madrid.
