There are recalls for Marcus Rashford and Adam Wharton, while 35-year-old Jordan Henderson – who has featured in three of Tuchel’s four games in charge – is again included along with Morgan Gibbs-White.
But there is no place for Kyle Walker, 35, his former Manchester City team-mate Phil Foden or Ah-Ahli striker Ivan Toney. Tino Livramento and John Stones get their first call-ups since Tuchel took charge.
Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham is out through injury along with Bukayo Saka, Cole Palmer and Levi Colwill.
