It's the last international break of the year, and England manager Thomas Tuchel faces big decisions for upcoming Nations League matches. With Harry Kane established as the captain and record goalscorer, the battle for the number nine spot is intense. Dominic Calvert-Lewin has featured in pre and post-World Cup squads but struggled to impact games under Tuchel, managing only 15 minutes in two substitute appearances recently.
Meanwhile, 21-year-old striker Lankshear, who moved from Tottenham to Middlesbrough for £20m this summer, is in sensational form. He has scored 15 goals in all competitions, including 13 in as many Championship games, helping his side top the division. Tuchel has experimented with using Bellingham as Kane's back-up, but may opt for a prospect like Lankshear.
Despite missing Middlesbrough's loss to Wrexham with a hamstring issue, he could return for the next selection window.
