Marcus Rashford, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Dan Burn were all handed starts in Thomas Tuchel's first England starting lineup for Friday's World Cup qualifier against Albania.
On loan at Aston Villa from Manchester United, Rashford is handed his first cap for a year. The 27-year-old last appeared for the Three Lions in March 2024 against Brazil.
Arsenal left-back Lewis-Skelly earns his first start after receiving his maiden call-up to the national team. Burn, also in his first England squad, starts at Wembley five days after ending Newcastle's 70-year wait for domestic silverware in a 2-0 Carabao Cup final victory over Liverpool with a goal at the same venue.
Curtis Jones, who also featured in Sunday's Carabao Cup final, starts his third straight game for England after playing and scoring in one of his first two nods during the November break.
Kyle Walker, currently on loan at AC Milan from Manchester City, starts at right-back and wins his 94th cap.
Morgan Rogers, who replaced an injured Cole Palmer in the squad, is on the bench alongside Jordan Henderson who made a shock return to the international frame.
England's starting lineup to face Albania
Starting XI: Jordan Pickford, Kyle Walker, Ezri Konsa, Dan Burn, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham, Curtis Jones, Phil Foden, Marcus Rashford, Harry Kane

How Sky Sports reacted to Tuchel's first England XI
Sky Sports News' Rob Dorsett at Wembley Stadium:
"So many surprises in Thomas Tuchel's first England starting XI - none more so, than Marc Guehi being dropped to the bench in place of Dan Burn.
"Guehi has been England's best defender for 12 months, but what a story for Burn - an England debut, five days after scoring at the same stadium, to help his boyhood team with the Carabao Cup."
Sky Sports' Sam Blitz at Wembley Stadium:
"Wow. Thomas Tuchel has not been afraid to name a very interesting team.
"What a turnaround for Marcus Rashford, who starts for England following his first call-up in a year. Penny for the thoughts of Ruben Amorim, as the Aston Villa loanee continues to thrive.
"And big days at the back for Myles Lewis-Skelly at left-back and Dan Burn at centre-half. Both players make their debuts - one aged 18 and one aged 32. Burn is England's oldest debutant since Kevin Davies in 2010.
"Curtis Jones also gets the nod in midfield, as does Ezri Konsa to partner Burn in defence. Kyle Walker and Jordan Pickford keep their places in this England team, with Phil Foden on the right wing."
Sky Sports' William Bitibiri at Wembley Stadium:
"Say what you want about this Marcus Rashford selection but Thomas Tuchel has been a long, self-proclaimed admirer of the 27-year-old.
"As he said after his re-selection, the new England manager has seen a new energy in Rashford since his loan move to Aston Villa. Rashford strikes me as one of those players who loves playing for his nation, we've seen a down, melancholy figure over the last few months but this will do wonders for his confidence."
Sky Sports' Lewis Jones:
"Here's a hot-take for you. If Myles Lewis-Skelly takes to international football like he's shown in the Premier League, then he'll start every competitive game between now and the World Cup for England. This could be the start of something special for England's next superstar left-back. The best since Ashley Cole."
