Aston Villa trio Ezri Konsa, Morgan Rogers and on-loan Marcus Rashford have all been named in Thomas Tuchel’s England matchday squad for Friday’s World Cup qualifier against Albania at Wembley.
Tuchel has cut three players from his 26-man squad as he can only name 23 players in a matchday squad.
The three players to miss out are Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White, Liverpool’s Jarrell Quansah and Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
Speaking about Tuchel from England’s training camp earlier this week, Rogers said: "When I met him his aura and demeanour, it's hard to describe but he has that level of confidence, that level of respect already.
"The presence is a bit different. Certain managers have different ways about them. Certainly his aura is one I've not experienced before. That's different to what I've faced before.
"You can see the way he is, the way he acts. He has been so chilled and calm. But when it is time to work, it is time to work.
"(Winning the World Cup) is the only goal, he was very clear and transparent with what he wants to do, how he wants to do it, how he wants to go about it, what he sees in us, and what we need to improve.
"It was very straight-up, no cutting round corners. It was straight and that's how he is. The best way to get information across is to be like that."
