Last chance for England hopefuls to impress

England take on Brazil and Belgium at Wembley in the next international window in the last fixtures the Three Lions have before manager Gareth Southgate names his squad for Euro 2024.

He was part of the England Under-21 side which won the European Championship last summer and was named player of the tournament while playing as a central striker. The Reds' injury crisis means that Gomez has had to fill in at right-back, left-back and centre-back, and having one player who can cover all positions in the backline could be vital with a reduced number going to Germany.Jarrad Branthwaite is another player who won the European Championships in Georgia last summer with England U21s.

That scoring record led to him making his debut for the Three Lions in March last year, but he was then banned for eight months for breaching the FA betting rules. Since returning, he has scored four goals in nine appearances for the Bees.His prowess in the air at set-pieces means he is useful in both boxes, plus his expertise at penalties could be crucial in tournament football.
