The Three Lions have also included Kyle Walker, who was absent from their previous squad.

Several high profile players missed out, including Manchester United defender Harry Maguire, Tottenham playmaker James Maddison and Crystal Palace winger Eberechi Eze.

On Solanke, interim boss Lee Carsley said: "He was really close to being in the last squad but got injured just before selection.

"He did so well at Bournemouth and now he's taken that form into Spurs. He's got a lot of really good attributes that I really like."
