Jordan Henderson, despite moving to Saudi Arabia, has also been called up to the England team for September, joining Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Prior to a friendly match against Scotland at Hampden Park to commemorate their first meeting 150 years ago, England will play Ukraine in a Euro 2024 qualifying match the following month.
Despite Joe Gomez’s availability, there was minimal discussion over which Liverpool players would play because Alexander-Arnold was the only serious candidate.
The right-back might start once more in midfield after being named to Gareth Southgate’s side for the games on September 9 and 12.
In games against North Macedonia and Malta in the summer, Southgate used Alexander-Arnold as a deep-lying midfielder, and he was rewarded with a goal and an assist.
Henderson, whose contentious transfer to Saudi Pro League team Al-Ettifaq prompted claims he should be passed over, is also included for the Three Lions.
However, the former Liverpool captain has been called up because Southgate insisted that a significant drop in competition would not exclude anyone from his plans.
Both Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott will likely be called up by England’s under-21 team on Friday for their U21 Euro qualifying match against Luxembourg.
The squads for the lower age groups, whose members will be announced on September 1st, will also be in contention including Jarell Quansah, Harvey Davies, Luke Chambers, and Bobby Clark.
