England have used the latest international window to assess their available options, with Trent Alexander-Arnold returning to the squad and Alex Scott making a debut.
The period has also offered a closer look at England’s midfield choices. The range of options in that area is among the main points to emerge from the window, giving the team further possibilities to consider.
England’s attacking resources have also been highlighted, with a strong front four identified as another significant feature of the team. Their attacking options, alongside the competition in midfield, form part of the wider assessment of the side.
The window therefore provided both an opportunity to welcome Alexander-Arnold back and to introduce Scott at international level. England’s next decisions will include how best to use their midfield alternatives and attacking strength as preparations continue.
