Tuchel’s side face Andorra away in World Cup qualifying on June 7 before facing Senegal in a friendly at the City Ground on June 10.

Trafford was one of four goalkeepers named in Tuchel’s first England squad in March, but didn’t feature in either of their wins against Albania and Latvia.

The Clarets stopper has enjoyed a record-breaking season at Turf Moor, keeping 29 of Burnley’s 30 clean sheets. He conceded just 16 goals during Burnley’s promotion-winning campaign.

Trafford isn’t the only uncapped player to feature in Tuchel’s squad, as Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah also receives a call up.

Ivan Toney is a surprise inclusion, having been left out of recent squads following his move to Saudi Arabia. But the former Brentford striker is a man in form having scored 22 goals in 29 appearances for Al-Ahli.

Phil Foden, Tino Livramento and Jarrod Bowen all miss out but Morgan Gibbs-White and Noni Madueke are included.
