Watkins and Bowen are in for England after their fast start to the season, while Maguire and Phillips retain their places in Southgate's squad.
Ollie Watkins and Jarrod Bowen have returned to the England set-up but there is no place for Raheem Sterling once again.
Watkins has not been called up since March 2022 and returned days after Southgate watched the striker score a hat-trick in Aston Villa’s 6-1 win against Brighton. Harry Maguire and Kalvin Phillips retained their place despite ongoing questions over their playing time, while Jordan Henderson also remained after moving to Saudi Arabia.
Southgate’s squad is light on left-backs, with Chelsea’s Colwill the only player with any real experience of playing there. “He was good in the Euros for the Under-21s and is adapting well to life back at Chelsea and has a real maturity about his game – we are very hopeful about his future.”Defenders: Levi Colwill, Lewis Dunk, Marc Guehi, Harry Maguire, John Stones, Fikayo Tomori, Kieran Trippier, Kyle Walker, Trent Alexander-ArnoldTime to talk terms: Every Premier League club’s next big contract decision
