Joe Gomez, who won the last of his 11 caps in October 2020, has returned from the wilderness.
Ivan Toney returned for the first opportunity after serving an eight-month betting ban from the FA, but Raheem Sterling was conspicuous by his absence once again.
Meanwhile, Southgate revealed that in-form Arsenal defender Ben White does not want to be selected by England at the moment.
The 26-year-old has impressed with the English Premier League leaders this season, but has not featured for the national team since the 2022 World Cup.
Telegraph Sport can now exclusively reveal that White's England rejection was prompted by a stinging comment from manager Steve Holland in front of the other players. Holland suggested that White was not interested in football. Senior football writer Sam Wallace provides full details here.
