The Three Lions Bring Back Bukayo Saka But Bellingham, Phil Foden & Grealish Are Omitted
The Arsenal forward has recorded a dozen goals in 44 games for the national team.
England have called up Bukayo Saka for next week's matches against Latvia and Wales, yet there's no spot for Bellingham, Foden or Grealish.
Gunners attacker Saka was absent from last month's qualifier successes against Serbia and Andorra with a hamstring injury.
The 24-year-old recently returned for his club and scored in their victory over the Greek side on Wednesday.
The England international replaces club colleague Noni Madueke, who is sidelined till next month because of a knee problem.
The Three Lions face the Welsh in a warm-up match at the national stadium this week before a qualifying match in Riga on October 14.
If England win against Latvia, they will need a just two more points from their final two qualifiers versus Serbia and Albania in the next month to qualify for next summer's tournament in Canada, Mexico and the United States.
Leverkusen's Quansah comes in for Newcastle's Tino Livramento, who is sidelined for two months following sustaining a knee injury versus Arsenal last weekend.
Elliot Anderson and Spence, who earned their maiden national team selections previously, retain their places. Ruben Loftus-Cheek also remains in the squad, even with the recovery of Wharton.
The attacker has featured in just a single match for Tuchel since taking over as national team boss, due to fitness and hamstring injuries.
Bellingham was absent from the last England international camp as he was rehabilitating after a shoulder operation and has managed just a single start for his club since returning from injury.
The Manchester City player was left out from the coach’s last England squad after a dip in performance and has been unsuccessful in returning, even with a strong start to the season with City.
Grealish also misses out despite a resurgence with Everton. He has not featured for England since last year.

'Scrutiny on those left out rather than included'
The manager’s new selection brings scrutiny on those the boss has left out rather than the players he has selected.
Jude Bellingham's omission may raise some eyebrows but the coach believes there is no need to bring back the Real Madrid star.
City’s Foden and loanee Grealish have both performed well in the early stages of the campaign.
The players the manager used in England's qualifying victories against Serbia and Andorra merit the reward of continuity.
It will bring disappointment that the Gunners’ Madueke is not involved because of a fitness issue.
Anderson has looked right at home at international level.
The England boss is a admirer of Grealish, in particular, and also Foden.
One unexpected move, it comes in the exclusion of Palace’s Adam Wharton.
The star, naturally, will be required in the future.
