LONDON (AP) — Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham is back in the England squad for the first time since the European Championship.
Bellingham missed the September internationals because of injury, but on Thursday he was included in interim coach Lee Carsley's 25-man squad for the Nations League games against Greece and Finland.
Chelsea's Cole Palmer was also called up after withdrawing ahead of the games against Ireland and Finland because of injury, while Manchester United defender Harry Maguire was left out.
Carsley has taken charge of England while the Football Association continues its search for a replacement for Gareth Southgate, who stepped down after the Euros.
Carsley, who stepped up from coaching England Under-21s, won his first two games in the role and could get the job on a permanent basis if he continues to impress.
His squad also includes Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke, who has only one appearance for his country, in 2017.
Manchester City's Kyle Walker has also been recalled after missing the games in September, along with teammate Phil Foden and Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins who both missed out through injury.
Maguire was a key figure under Southgate, but missed the Euros because of injury and was also ruled out of Carsley's first two games. He is fit again, but has not been a regular for United this season.
England plays Greece at Wembley on Oct. 10 and Finland in Helsinki on Oct. 13.

REDDING, Calif. (AP) — Heavy rain and flash flooding soaked roads in northern California, leading to water rescues from vehicles and homes and at least one confirmed death, authorities said Monday.
In Redding, a city at the northern end of the Central Valley, one motorist died after calling 911 while trapped in their vehicle as it filled up with water, Mayor Mike Littau posted online Monday. Police said they received numerous calls for drivers stranded in flooded areas.
“Redding police officer swam out into the water, broke the windows and pulled victim to shore. CPR was done but the person did not live,” Littau wrote.
The weather in the coming days could be even more dangerous, he warned.
The National Weather Service expected more rain through the Christmas week as a series of atmospheric rivers was forecast to make its way through Northern California. A large swath of the Sacramento Valley and surrounding areas were under a flood watch through Friday.
The weather pattern was expected to intensify by midweek, which could lead to potential mudslides, rockslides and flooding of creeks and streams, forecasters warned. Up to 6 feet (1.83 meters) of snow was predicted for parts of the Sierra Nevada and winds could reach 55 mph (90 kph) in high elevations by Wednesday.
Southern California can also expect a soggy Christmas, with heavy rain in the forecast starting Tuesday evening. The National Weather Service urged people to make backup plans for holiday travel.
In Redding and surrounding areas, between 3 and 6 inches (7.6 centimeters and 15.2 centimeters) had fallen by Sunday night, the National Weather Service said.
As of Monday morning, local roads in Redding remained flooded as street crews worked to clear debris and tow out abandoned cars.

In the mountain pass area of Donner Summit, firefighters in Truckee extended a ladder to stranded residents at a house along the South Yuba River, the fire department posted online Sunday. No injuries were reported.
Atmospheric rivers are long, narrow bands of water vapor that form over an ocean and flow through the sky, transporting moisture from the tropics to northern latitudes.
Earlier this month, stubborn atmospheric rivers that drenched Washington state with nearly 5 trillion gallons (19 trillion liters) of rain in a week, threatening record flood levels, meteorologists said. That rainfall was supercharged by warm weather and air plus unusual weather conditions tracing back as far as a tropical cyclone in Indonesia.
