Stoke’s Ryan Shawcross and Tottenham’s Aaron Lennon have been called into the England squad for the World Cup qualifiers against San Marino and Poland in October.
Uncapped centre-back Shawcross, 24, fills the space vacated by John Terry, who has retired from the national side.
Winger Lennon returns after a two-year absence.
Celtic goalkeeper Fraser Forster, 24, is promoted to the senior squad for the first time, while Wayne Rooney returns.
Manchester United striker Rooney missed the victories over Moldova and Ukraine in the first two qualifiers due to a leg injury sustained against Fulham.
Shawcross was named in former coach Fabio Capello’s squad for the friendly against Egypt in March 2010, but did not play.
He recently turned down the opportunity to play for Wales, having qualified through five years’ compulsory education in the country.
Meanwhile, Arsenal left-back Kieran Gibbs, who has impressed in the first few weeks of the season, replaces Chelsea’s Ryan Bertrand.
Birmingham’s Jack Butland, who was part of England coach Roy Hodgson’s Euro 2012 squad, has been released to the Under-21s for their European Championship play-off with Serbia.
England’s senior team play San Marino at Wembley on Friday 12 October and face Poland in Warsaw on Tuesday 16 October.
