Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster has received his first England call-up since 2017.
Sam Johnstone was initially brought into the squad on Monday to replace Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, who retired with a hip injury.
West Brom goalkeeper Johnstone, however, missed training on Tuesday and withdrew from the Gareth Southgate team on Wednesday due to illness.
The 34-year-old Forster has impressed with Southampton this season, but won the last of his six England caps in 2016.
Forster will join Saints teammates James Ward-Prowse and Kyle Walker-Peters in the Southgate squad.
Walker-Peters and Tyrick Mitchell received their first Senior England call-ups on Monday, when Ollie Watkins and Johnstone were introduced.
Bukayo Saka was detained in his hotel room in St George’s Park due to illness, although it is understood that there is currently nothing to suggest that it is coronavirus-related.
