Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has been recalled to the England squad for Wednesday's friendly against Sweden.
Wilshere, 20, only recently made his first-team return after being out injured for more than a year.
Right-back Carl Jenkinson represented Finland at youth level and needs Fifa clearance before he can join the squad.
There is a first call-up for Everton midfielder Leon Osman, 31, while Liverpool duo Raheem Sterling, 17, and Jonjo Shelvey, 20, are also included.
Wilshere has not featured for his country since winning his fifth cap against Switzerland in June 2011.
He has struggled with a serious knee injury and only made his Premier League return for Arsenal against QPR two weeks ago - his first start for the Gunners since May 2011.
But Wilshere will be unavailable for Saturday's Premier League match against Fulham after he was sent off in last weekend's defeat to Manchester United.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger feels it is too early for his young star to be included in the squad but said he had reached an agreement with his England counterpart Roy Hodgson over the player's inclusion.
"I had Roy Hodgson on the phone, we found a good understanding and a good compromise," said Wenger.
While Gerrard is targeting his 100th cap at the age of 32, Osman will hope to get his first aged 31 after a strong start to the campaign with Everton.
