Gareth Southgate has included four uncapped players in his provisional England squad for Euro 2020.
Defenders Ben White and Ben Godfrey are joined by goalkeepers Aaron Ramsdale and Sam Johnstone.
The England manager made a late decision to delay naming his final 26-man squad and will instead take the opportunity to monitor this wider party of 33 before the Uefa deadline on 1 June.
There are fitness concerns over a number of leading players including Jordan Henderson, Harry Maguire and Jack Grealish but all three will join up with the squad and are expected to be ready for the tournament.
Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is one of those expected to be excluded from the final list although he will get one final chance to impress Southgate after being included in the provisional list.
Jude Bellingham is also included and is expected to make the final cut after an impressive debut season at Borussia Dortmund.
Manchester United youngster Mason Greenwood and Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins have been selected ahead of Patrick Bamford despite the Leeds United striker’s 17 Premier League goals this season.
Leicester midfielder James Maddison, Southampton forward Danny Ings and Spurs utility man Eric Dier are three others who miss out.
