Jonjo Shelvey and Jamie Vardy are among the names included in England's 22-man roster for Euro 2016 qualifiers against San Marino and Switzerland.

The two men will both be looking for their second appearance for England's senior side, as gaffer Roy Hodgson has opted for several players in good form through the Premier League's opening month.

The Three Lions play San Marino on Sept. 5 in Serravalle prior to returning home to host Switzerland at Wembley Stadium on Sept. 8 in hopes of extending a perfect six wins in six matches standard.

"Jonjo Shelvey gets another chance as he has been very impressive since the start of the season whilst Ryan Mason has been unlucky with us - he picked up an injury the last time he was in the England squad," Hodgson told the English FA's official website.

"This latest squad shows we are working with a good number of players with a claim to be England regulars and secure a place in Euro 2016."

Hodgson continued: "Before that there are two matches we must focus on. The players must keep going, play well and look to win every match. I don't want any let up and we want to win both these games."
