The first international break after a major tournament often provides nations with a chance to ring the changes and blood new stars.

The latter, 24, was on Man Utd’s books between 2006-20 before leaving for a new challenge in France with Lille.
Gomes has thrived in Ligue 1 and on the back of picking up his first two England caps in the 2-0 victories over the Republic of Ireland and Finland, he’s a man in demand.
According to Caught Offside, Arsenal are ‘leading the chase’ for the central midfielder who provided 10 assists across all competitions for Lille last term.
Per the report, the Gunners are by no means the only side sizing up Gomes.
Indeed, Premier League rivals Newcastle and Aston Villa are showing interest. From further afield, Napoli, Juventus and Borussia Dortmund are weighing up swoops.
