Thomas Tuchel has recalled Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham to the England squad for November's international matches.
Bellingham was left out of the squad in October despite his return from injury with Real Madrid, with the England boss saying there was "no problem" between him and the midfielder.
Foden had not featured for his country since March, but his return to form for Manchester City in recent weeks has led to his return.

Elsewhere, there was a surprise call-up for Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott and there was also room for Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton.
Arsenal defender Myles Lewis-Skelly was not included after struggling for gametime with his club as City's Nico O'Reilly and Tottenham Hotspur's Djed Spence were selected as recognised full-backs. There was no England return for Danny Welbeck despite his form in front of goal this season.
Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins was also omitted, meaning Tuchel did not opt to name a No. 9 to back up Harry Kane. Marcus Rashford appears best placed to deputise in the captain's absence.
