Jack Wilshere will make his second start of the season as England face Turkey, with Jamie Vardy and Harry Ken also in Roy Hodgson’s starting XI.
The Arsenal midfielder only began the last match of the season for his club, against Aston Villa, and only featured three times in all for Arsene Wenger's side during the season.
However, Hodgson has decided to give him some game time straight away for the friendly with Turkey at the Etihad Stadium.
Leicester’s Vardy and Tottenham’s Kane, who finished the season as the Premier League’s top two scorers, with 24 and 25 goals respectively, also start in an attacking line-up.
Although the striking duo are almost certain to travel to France, England must trim three players from their squad of 26 before the end of the month.
Wilshere will be fighting for his place with Eric Dier in midfield, which is the area of the team with the most players picked, meaning at least two of those will almost certainly not travel.
