Marcus Rashford has been recalled by Thomas Tuchel as he announced his first squad as England manager for March’s World Cup Qualifiers.
Rashford has faced a difficult season, dropped by Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim in December and not making an appearance for the club since December 12.
In January, he made a loan move to Aston Villa, with his performances markedly improved. He has made four assists since and helped the club into the Champions League quarter-finals with one against Club Brugge on Wednesday.
Now, he has been rewarded with a return to the England set-up, having last featured for the Three Lions in March last year as a substitute against Brazil at Wembley.
There is also a return to the squad for Jordan Henderson, while Tuchel has also selected Myles Lewis-Skelly in his 26-player squad for games against Albania and Latvia at Wembley this month.
It is the first senior call-up for the Arsenal midfielder, who has also never earned an U21 cap. However, he did play for England at lower youth levels.
Newcastle defender Dan Burn has also been included, having never featured for England at any level, while Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers is selected again after making his senior debut in November.
