The former Liverpool captain completed a move to the Middle East earlier this summer.
His international career had appeared in doubt at the time, despite Henderson speaking to Southgate about his England future before leaving Anfield.
Eddie Nketiah has also been handed a surprise first call-up by Southgate.
The Arsenal striker is the all-time England under-21 top scorer with 16 goals.
Nketiah has scored twice in three appearances for the Gunners so far this season.
Elsewhere, Harry Maguire also remains in the squad, but faces pressure from newcomer Levi Colwill.
The Chelsea defender has been included in the senior squad for the first time in his career.
He previously trained with Southgate’s side back in June before winning the under-21 Euros with the Young Lions.

Maguire remains in the side despite his lack of action at Manchester United.
The 30-year-old has yet to play this season and is free to leave the Red Devils.
He had looked set to join West Ham in a £30million deal before the transfer collapsed.
England will play two matches next month, starting with a Euro 2024 qualifier against Ukraine in Poland on September 9.
The Three Lions will then take on old rivals Scotland at Hampden Park three days later.
