In came Dominic Solanke, Noni Madueke and James Trafford, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuchel has his World Cup squad effectively locked in. Kane, Saka and Pickford will be joined on the plane by Declan Rice, Elliot Anderson and Marc Guehi, to name three. Friday\u2019s welcome of Uruguay provided the fringe stars the chance to secure a spot on the plane this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a game of few chances, it was the returning Ben White who proved the central figure in the stalemate. White replaced Fikayo Tomori midway through the second half before bagging the opener. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/arsenal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Arsenal<\/a> man completed the full villain-to-hero-to-villain arc as he conceded a late penalty, which was duly dispatched by Uruguay captain Federico Valverde in the 1-1 draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>In this article, we&#8217;ll cover:<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-james-garner-s-debut\" data-level=\"3\">James Garner\u2019s debut<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-dominic-solanke-s-audition\" data-level=\"3\">Dominic Solanke\u2019s audition<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-phil-foden-fluffs-his-lines\" data-level=\"3\">Phil Foden fluffs his lines<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-james-garner-s-debut\">James Garner\u2019s debut<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of those looking to catch the eye was James Garner, who received a first England call up last week. Garner has excelled for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/everton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Everton<\/a> this season, and international recognition is richly deserved. Not only has the Toffees star\u2019s work off the ball caught the eye of the England manager, his deadball quality also influenced the decision to bring the 25-year-old into the squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Garner was immediately put on set-piece duties for England on Friday night, sharing the responsibility with Phil Foden. Given Garner ranks fifth for chances created from set pieces (21) in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Premier League<\/a> this season, that was hardly a surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the most part, Garner did what he was instructed to do. Harry Maguire was so often the target from corners and free-kicks, and the former carried out the duty expertly. Indeed, he created more chances (3) than any other player in the first half at Wembley.<\/p>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">James Garner&#8217;s first half by numbers vs. Uruguay:<\/p>\n<p>23\/25 passes completed <br \/>5 duels won <br \/>4 tackles<br \/>3 chances created <br \/>3x possession won <br \/>1 interception <\/p>\n<p>Looks at home in an England shirt. ? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sRVeYSdlh5\">pic.twitter.com\/sRVeYSdlh5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Squawka Live (@Squawka_Live) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka_Live\/status\/2037631952988074123?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 27, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The midfielder showcased his impressive defensive work rate on the international stage. Against such a combative Uruguay, this was a notable feat in itself. Five duels won, four tackles and one interception marked a fine opening 45 minutes to life in international football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While he didn\u2019t enjoy a winning start to life with England, Garner did his World Cup hopes no harm at Wembley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dominic-solanke-s-audition\">Dominic Solanke\u2019s audition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One area of contention is Harry Kane\u2019s backup. Kane will lead the charge for the Three Lions in North America. As England captain, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/bayern-munchen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bayern Munich<\/a> forward will start nigh-on every game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The issue for Tuchel is who best to provide cover and competition for Kane this summer. At Euro 2024, it was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/aston-villa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Aston Villa<\/a> hitman Ollie Watkins. The Villans star was overlooked for the March internationals, however, with Dominic Solanke and Dominic Calvert-Lewin called up instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Solanke was named in the starting XI as the focal point in Tuchel\u2019s favoured 4-2-3-1 setup. It marked eight years and 133 days since his England debut, the longest gap between a first appearance and first start for the national team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/tottenham-hotspur\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> striker, to his credit, did all he could for a mismatch England side. Despite a lack of coherency in this Three Lions setup, Solanke was the only player to muster a shot on target in the opening 45 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, he linked up well with teammates and worked hard off the ball to force Uruguay to act. While he couldn\u2019t mark the occasion with a goal, Solanke gave a good account of himself before his second half withdrawal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-phil-foden-fluffs-his-lines\">Phil Foden fluffs his lines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuchel is spoilt for choice in the No.10 role. Morgan Rogers, Jude Bellingham and Cole Palmer are all options for the England boss. Eberechi Eze missed out on the squad due to injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even so, Phil Foden was handed the number 10 keys at Wembley. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/manchester-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Manchester City<\/a> man has struggled for game time of late, yet Tuchel felt the 25-year-old deserved the chance to nail down his spot in the England setup.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr \/>\r\n<h2><strong>Bet \u00a310 &amp; Get \u00a330 in Free Bets with Bet365<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>Not signed up to bet365 yet?

Since Euro 2024, the Man City man has struggled for consistency for both club and country, and the Uruguay clash was the attacker\u2019s form in the last two years in a microcosm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Foden showed flashes of brilliance, but not enough to prove he deserves a squad berth, let alone a starting spot, this summer. In fairness, Foden\u2019s evening was cut short following a nasty challenge from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/barcelona\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Barcelona<\/a> defender Ronald Araujo. Yet even prior to the tackle from the centre-back, the attacker struggled to really get into the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That he was up against one of the world\u2019s best central midfielders in Federico Valverde won\u2019t have helped. But to be the best, you have to beat the best. Foden looked anything but in the stalemate with Uruguay.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a
