Trevoh Chalobah
The defender was called up to the England squad by manager Thomas Tuchel but didn’t break into the eleven despite some of the rotation. Didn’t get subbed on at all over the two weeks but should be fresh for Chelsea’s upcoming matches at least.
Malo Gusto
Was left on the bench for the strong win over Ukraine before playing the full 90 against Azerbaijan and looking very good. He nabbed two assists in the 3-1 win and marauded up and down the right flank for the duration. Was very involved with 105 total touches.
Dujuan Richards
Called up by Jamaica for their CONCACAF qualifiers, the attacker came off the bench in both outings, only totalling around 50 minutes as a wide man. He didn’t have much time to impress but did managed to make a key pass in his limited time.
Marc Cucurella
Started at left-back and played the full 90 minutes across both of Spain’s matches. Didn’t contribute much in the 4-0 win over Georgia but was defensively sound with two interceptions and four clearances. Was a bit more involved in the 2-2 draw with Turkiye, grabbing an assist with his one big chance created.

While Blues fans would have hoped for a rest, the former Brighton man is an absolute machine who may gut it out and feature in the next three matches for the club.
Under-21s
Josh Acheampong
Started and finished both of England U-21s qualifiers. Was a solid force at the back for two clean sheets and had an immaculate 99% passing accuracy against Slovakia in a dominant 4-0 win.
Tyrique George
Another impressive international break for the Cobham graduate. Scored one and assisted one across both outings. Continues to look dangerous and always seems to pop up with a goal contribution, even for Chelsea where he leads per 90 output.
Jamie Gittens
Will be disappointed not to have gained a goal or assist but he was a defensive presence from the winger spot and managed to get a lot of touches and dribbles against Slovakia. Only created one big chance across his minutes.
Marc Guiu
Called up for the Spanish U-21 side but didn’t see the pitch.
Gaga Slonina
Played for the USA U-21s against Serbia in a 1-0 defeat but came away with his head held high. Made four saves, three from inside the box and was capable at playing out from the back.
Other Impressive Performances
Jesse Derry
Signed somewhat under the radar from Crystal Palace over the summer, the attacker has been impressing at youth level. He had a hat trick for the England U-19s against Latvia and chipped in with an assist against Scotland in a dominant stretch for the team.
Shumaira Mheuka
Another academy standout, Shumaira Mheuka grabbed four goals for the England U-19s across three fixtures, he scored a brace against Lithuania and another against Scotland.
