It's been a long international break for England. But it could be a pivotal one in Thomas Tuchel's thinking. England's four-game Nations League camp started with a defeat to Spain but ended with two wins over Czech Republic and a 7-0 demolition of Croatia.
Here are the winners and losers of the latest England squad. Anthony Gordon impressed with three goals and one assist, securing the left wing spot. Alex Scott showed he belonged at the top level despite a two-month injury, playing the Declan Rice role perfectly. James Trafford started in goal against Spain, signaling a potential changing of the guard from Jordan Pickford.
Lewis Hall provided a natural left-back option, assisting Harry Kane's goal. Trent Alexander-Arnold turned his form around with two strong starts at right-back. And Harry Kane continues his remarkable record, now at 91 goals in 125 England caps.
While some players enhanced their status, others will be looking over their shoulder after this international break.
