England have named their squad for their upcoming Nations League campaign as Thomas Tuchel looks to move on from the pain of this summer's World Cup.
The Three Lions will face Spain next Saturday before facing Czechia on September 29.
England will then lock horns with Croatia on October 3 before concluding the international break at home to Czechia three days later.
Tuchel has now named his 27-man squad for the matches, with the England boss making a series of bold calls.
Cole Palmer has made the cut, with the Chelsea star returning to the fold after being left out of the World Cup squad back in the summer.
The Blues forward has enjoyed a stunning start to the season since the appointment of Xabi Alonso, with four goals to his name already.
Palmer has also clocked up two assists in the Premier League.
Scott was another player who failed to get the nod for the World Cup.
The Bournemouth star has, however, put that pain behind him to shine at the Vitality Stadium under the guidance of Marco Rose.
Jarrad Branthwaite is another returning member, with the Everton star's sole cap coming back in 2024.

The centre-back has impressed for the Toffees at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with links to Manchester United resurfacing as a result.
Another intriguing call surrounds Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The right-back has featured just once since Tuchel replaced Gareth Southgate and has struggled for Real Madrid since joining from Liverpool last year.
However, Alexander-Arnold is back after earning Jose Mourinho's trust at the Bernabeu.
Arsenal youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly has been named among the midfielders, having re-established himself under Mikel Arteta towards the end of last season.
And Liverpool's 18-year-old wing wizard Rio Ngumoha will have a chance to make his second appearance, having been included following a positive start to the campaign at Anfield.
Among those absent is Jordan Henderson, who hasn't featured for Chelsea since joining earlier this summer.
There's no place for Phil Foden, Dean Henderson or John Stones either.
Read on below to see the England squad in full.
