England’s director Thomas Tuchel will name his first team next week for the World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia.
The former Chelsea boss is officially posting in the series of the year and has already taken plenty of Premier League football.
But – with a few regular injuries and a new eye molding in the package – Who can be on the run for a call?
Delap – Kane’s successor?
Harry Kane scored twice for Bayern Munich this week as he took a first foot lead over Bayer Leverkusen and the captain is expected to keep his place at the top of the attack for some time.
But a man who makes a name for himself this season and worth a look at the upcoming games is the city of Ipswich forward Liam Delap.

A few eyebrows increased when Ipswich chose to divide about £ 20 million for Delap last summer, but has already proven its value. Delap scored 10 goals in the Premier League while driving the line alone and is strong and immediate.
Ollie Watkins had another good campaign for Villa, but Delap could surely offer England something else.
Nwaneri – Complete again for SAKA?
Bukayo Saka has been a key man for England in recent years, but he is one of the list of absences of injuries to the new manager.
Ethan Nwaneri is only 17, but he has not seen at all since he entered the first Xi of Gunners, noting four times since the beginning of January, including two in the Champions League.

It seems certain that Tuchel will want to check Nwaneri and his colleague Myles Myles Lewis-Skelly-who has It has already been overthrown for a future of England by Nigel Winterburn.
Others abroad are looking at
Tottenham had another era of Tottenham, but Archie Gray and Djed Spence have been doing well in recent weeks. Gray has played in the middle section and anywhere throughout the defense, while Spence can work on each side.
Tuchel liked to play back three while in Chelsea, so that the wings were a useful choice in his team.

With Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire, Mason Mount, Kobbie Mainoo, Dom Solanke and John Stones, who will all lose there will surely be places to grab.
Burnley James Trafford goalkeeper may be worth a look while forward, Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Gittens impressed on one of Tuchel’s old clubs, noting 11 times from the wing.
He has not scored since mid -January, but, like Nwaneri, he could be worth a look.
The Tuchel era will start on March 21 at Wembley.
