England 1-1 Uruguay: England player ratings from the Wembley friendly
Harry Maguire made a solid return to the international scene but Phil Foden failed to find a spark
silverguide.site –
James Trafford A quiet debut for the Manchester City goalkeeper – until he was beaten by Fede Valverde’s equalising penalty 6
Tino Livramento Untroubled in defence. Support the attack with energetic runs but the connections were lacking. 6
Harry Maguire Solid on his return to the international scene. Some booming passes and a set-piece threat. 6
Fikayo Tomori Unruffled on his first England appearance since November 2023 but the Uruguay attack was toothless. 6
Djed Spence Fine defensively but a right footer at left-back was a familiar issue. Kept checking back. 6
Jordan Henderson Occasionally bypassed in midfield and offered little on the ball before going off at half-time. 5
James Garner The Everton midfielder delivered some dangerous corners and did not disgrace himself on his debut. 6
Noni Madueke Won some corners but often hung on to the ball too long. Went off injured. 6
Phil Foden Failed to deliver as the No 10 and will be worried about his World Cup place. 5
Marcus Rashford Livened up the crowd with one run but mostly dribbled down dead ends. Underwhelming night. 5
Dominic Solanke Tested Fernando Muslera from long range and worked hard without ever looking likely to score. 6
Subs Jarrod Bowen (for Madueke 38) Quiet after replacing Madueke on the right. 6; Adam Wharton (for Henderson ht) Offered urgent passing and a block on a Uruguay defender for the goal. 6; Cole Palmer (for Foden 56) A lively cameo was crowned by him delivering the corner for the winner. 7; Dominic Calvert-Lewin (for Solanke 56) Headed wide from a Palmer free-kick. 6; Ben White (for Tomori 69) Booed when he came on, scored, got booed again, gave away a penalty after a harsh VAR call. Odd. 6; Harvey Barnes (for Rashford 69) 6; Lewis Hall (for Spence 69) 6; Kobbie Mainoo (for Garner 69) 6
