Raheem Sterling misses out as Eddue Nketiah joins Jordan Henderson, Harry Maguire in England squad

Harry Maguire and Jordan Henderson have been included in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the Euro 2024 qualifier against Ukraine and the international friendly with Scotland.

Maguire has been named in Southgate’s 26-man squad despite not playing a single minute of football for Manchester United this season.

Former Liverpool captain Henderson has also earned a call-up despite his recent move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq.

Elsewhere, there are first senior call-ups for Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah and Chelsea defender Levi Colwill.

Nketiah has enjoyed a fine start to the season for Mikel Arteta’s side after scoring twice in three Premier League appearances, while Colwill was part of the squad that won the Under-21 European Championships last month.

Brighton captain Lewis Dunk has retained his place after being forced to withdraw from the squad for the two qualifiers against North Macedonia and Malta in June, while there is also a recall for AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori.

Meanwhile, arguably the most high-profile omission is Raheem Sterling, despite a renaissance in the 28-year-old’s form after scoring two goals in Chelsea’s first three Premier League games.

The Three Lions squad will assemble at St. George's Park on September 4 ahead of the match against Ukraine in Wroclaw, Poland on September 9, kick-off 17:00 UK time.

Southgate's side then take on Scotland in a friendly to be played at Hampden Park in Glasgow on September 12, kick-off 19:45.

The full squad is as follows:

Goalkeepers: Sam Johnstone (Crystal Palace), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal)

Defenders: Ben Chilwell (Chelsea), Levi Colwill (Chelsea), Lewis Dunk (Brighton & Hove Albion), Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace), Harry Maguire (Manchester United), Fikayo Tomori (AC Milan), Kieran Trippier (Newcastle United), Kyle Walker (Manchester City), Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool)

Midfielders: Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Conor Gallagher (Chelsea), Jordan Henderson (Al-Ettifaq), Kalvin Phillips (Manchester City), Declan Rice (Arsenal), James Maddison (Tottenham Hotspur)

Forwards: Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace), Phil Foden (Manchester City), Jack Grealish (Manchester City), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), Eddie Nketiah (Arsenal), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Callum Wilson (Newcastle United)
