FABIAN Delph has been recalled by England for their Euro 2020 qualifiers double header.
The Bradford-born midfielder has put in a number of impressive performances for new club Everton this season following his move from Manchester City in the summer.
The 29-year-old has won 20 full international caps so far.
Meanwhile, Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori has been handed a first England call-up as team-mate Tammy Abraham also returns to Gareth Southgate's squad.
The Three Lions travel to take on the Czech Republic in Prague on October 11 before a trip to face Bulgaria three days later.
Tomori and Abraham were two of three players included this time around who had missed out on the previous squad.
Manchester United pair Jesse Lingard and Aaron Wan-Bissaka drop out, along with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain of Liverpool.
Tomori, who was born in Canada and represented them at Under-20 level, has established himself in Frank Lampard's Chelsea side of late and is rewarded with a maiden senior England call-up.
Abraham scored his eighth goal in 10 games in Chelsea's 2-1 Champions League win over Lille on Wednesday night and is back in the squad having made his debut almost two years ago.
He featured in friendly matches against Germany and Brazil in November 2017 and remains eligible for Nigeria unless he picks up a competitive cap in the forthcoming games.
Asked if it was an easy decision to include Abraham, who featured in a friendly against Germany in November 2017, Southgate said: "It was - he's the leading English scorer in the league.
"He's a player that came into the squad very young, at a time when we wanted to have a look at players ahead of the World Cup.
"That was a bit early for him but now with the opportunity he's been given by Frank, along with other English players at Chelsea, it's a great chance for Tammy.
"He's always scored goals with our junior teams, with the Chelsea youth teams, on loan in the Championship and now he's really grasped this opportunity at the beginning of the season."
Manchester City right-back Kyle Walker is again a high-profile absentee, with Kieran Trippier and Trent Alexander-Arnold preferred.
For Euro 2020 qualifiers v the Czech Republic & Bulgaria: Goalkeepers: Tom Heaton, Jordan Pickford, Nick Pope. Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ben Chilwell, Joe Gomez, Michael Keane, Harry Maguire, Tyrone Mings, Danny Rose, Fikayo Tomori, Kieran Trippier.
Midfielders: Ross Barkley, Fabian Delph, Jordan Henderson, James Maddison, Mason Mount, Declan Rice, Harry Winks.
Forwards: Tammy Abraham, Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Raheem Sterling, Callum Wilson.
