Jadon Sancho, Mason Mount and Nathaniel Chalobah were named in the England team with James Maddison.
Borussia Dortmund midfielder Sancho, Mount, on loan from Chelsea to Derby, and Watford's Chalobah have been named by Gareth Southgate for the League of Nations games against Croatia and Spain this month.
Sancho and Mount were selected for the first time, as was Maddison, who made an impressive start to the season in Leicester. Chalobah is back in the team after recovering from a long-term knee injury.
Harry Winks and Ross Barkley also have room on the 25-man team. Injuries and play time led to changes in the Southgate team and the shape of those who were called.
Dele Alli is injured hamstrings and Fabian Delph, Adam Lallana and Jesse Lingard have been left out of questions about their fitness. Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who has not played for Chelsea since his departure for England against Switzerland, has also been left out.
Uncapped goalkeepers Marcus Bettinelli and Alex McCarthy are again included.

"I think it goes in the same direction as what we've done in the last 18 months," said Southgate. "We had some injuries especially in midfield – Dele, Jesse and Ruben went missing – and Fabian Delph, so there's an opportunity.
"Then we have to decide how we want to use this opportunity. We believe we have followed exciting young players, whether through their clubs or junior teams. This is a great opportunity for us to watch them. "
He added, "Jadon's is an unusual story for a young English player. He had the courage to go play abroad. He started two Champions League matches for Dortmund and had a considerable impact on the bench during their league matches. So it's a really brave decision on his part to try his luck.
"Mason is a slightly different situation. He spent a year at Speed last year, so he had another year of men's football. This year in the championship, he created more chances than any other player in the league. They are both still in training but we think that they can have an impact on the group and we do not hesitate to play them in the matches. "
Southgate has expressed delight to sign a new contract for the final phase of the 2022 World Cup. The manager has been awarded a contract worth almost £ 3 million a year after leading the team to semi-finals of the World Cup in Russia. Steve Holland, his assistant, has also signed new terms.
"I'm excited to have the opportunity to lead the national team at the next two major tournaments," said Southgate. "The work remains an incredible privilege and a real honor. Experiencing the nation's sense of unity behind the team this summer has been a special experience and it will be good to see how far this young team can go in the years to come. "
Martin O'Neill said he was told that the information that Declan Rice of West Ham would have chosen to play for England rather than the Republic of Ireland was "inaccurate". The Irish official said: "I used the word" optimistic ", I repeated it, that's exactly what's happening."
Leicester midfielder Harvey Barnes, on loan to West Bromwich Albion, will be named for the first time in the under-21 England squad. He scored a spectacular equalizer in Sheffield on Wednesday.
