Midfielders Dele Alli and Jesse Lingard are left out of England manager Gareth Southgates group to the Euro 2020 qualifiers off to the Czech Republic and Bulgaria.
Theres a for protector Fikayo Tomori, even though his Chelsea team-mate is also picked.
Manchester City right-back Kyle Walker has been omitted.
England play with the Czechs on Bulgaria and 11 October on 14 October.
Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain misses out, although everton midfielder Fabian Delph was recalled.
Injured Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka is also not included.
There are some hard choices to make, said Southgate. Its an exciting squad, with gamers really much in form.
There is still a focus on the growth of younger gamers surrounded by great experience
Abraham, 22, had stated he hadnot decided yet on his international future because he is also qualified to play for Nigeria, with just played for England in 2 friendlies and not a competitive match.
He wont be able to change allegiance, while the exact same applies to Tomori who played for Canada if he plays against Bulgaria or the Czechs.
Its not ethically appropriate to give someone a cap only so they can not play for someone else, said Southgate.
He and Fikayo Tomori are equally on merit and also have become a part of our junior system right through, so we see them English players and they have a massive urge to play England at senior level
Abraham has five goals in 10 games in all competitions for Chelsea so far this year and is joint second at the Premier Leagues top-scorers graph.
This was a rather simple decision [to select him] as he is the leading British goalscorer in the league, said Southgate.
Abraham played England in favorable attractions with Germany and Brazil and has been part of their England Under-21 squad at the European Championship this summer.
We put him to the squad very young, when we were changing the complexion of exactly everything we were doing, added Southgate.
This was somewhat early for him but because of the opportunity given to him Frank Lampard at Chelsea, weve brought back him in.
That is now a fantastic chance for Tammy.
