Morgan Gibbs-White is in line for an England recall to replace Cole Palmer, who is set to withdraw from the squad because of a minor injury.
Nottingham Forest midfielder Gibbs-White missed out on selection in the initial squad for the upcoming Nations League matches, but is set to be called up.
Three Lions boss Thomas Tuchel admitted on Friday that Gibbs-White was close to making the cut and the 26-year-old is now expected to replace Chelsea’s Palmer.
Palmer, 24, had been recalled by Tuchel after being controversially left out of England’s World Cup squad.
Tuchel previously said Palmer had a “point to prove” and needed “to step up” to “keep his shirt and justify the nomination”.
However, the Blues forward will now miss the extended international break in which England play four games.
The Three Lions face World Cup winners Spain at Wembley on Saturday, 26 September, then travel to the Czech Republic (29 September) and Croatia (3 October) before hosting the Czechs on 6 October.
