Rodwell, who scored twice in his club's final day 3-2 defeat to Norwich City on Sunday, missed large chunks of the campaign through injury.
He has been selected as cover for Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley, who picked up a knock in their 5-5 draw with West Bromwich Albion in their final outing.
Roy Hodgson's England side play Ireland on May 29 at Wembley, followed by Brazil in Rio four days later.
