Coach Thomas Tuchel has said he has no problem with Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden or Jack Grealish, after the trio were left out of England's October matches against Wales and Latvia.
Real Madrid's Bellingham was not invited despite returning from a shoulder injury, while Foden and Grealish were not invited despite being in good form at Manchester City and Everton.
The Three Lions play Wales in a friendly at Wembley on Thursday, before facing Latvia in Riga on October 14 in a World Cup qualifier.
If England win against Latvia, they will need two more points from their final two matches against Serbia and Albania in November to secure the World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the USA from first place.
"Jude always deserves to be here. But there is also the other situation that he has not been completely at his peak at Real Madrid and has not yet completed a full match after the injury," Tuchel declared at a press conference on Friday.
