Burnley keeper Nick Pope retains his place in England squad.
Gareth Southgate’s side will host fellow Home Nation Wales on Thursday, October 8th in a friendly, before Belgium (Sunday, October 11th) and Denmark (Wednesday, October 14th) also visit Wembley for Nations League fixtures.
Pope, with two caps to his name so far, was tipped to get a start in one of the Nations League games in Iceland and Denmark at the beginning of September, but had to settle for a place on the bench as Southgate stuck with Everton’s Jordan Pickford.

Pope is expected to get some game time in this batch of games, possibly against Wales, with Manchester United’s Dean Henderson also in line for a debut.
Meanwhile, Burnley-born Harvey Barnes of Leicester City is named for the first time.
Barnes was born in Burnley in December 1997, shortly before father Paul joined Huddersfield Town in a swap deal for Andy Payton.
