798 CommentsTime is fast running out to catch the eye of England boss Thomas Tuchel before this summer's World Cup, but who managed to in Friday's friendly against Uruguay?

James Trafford: He looked assured on his England debut and displayed a calmness on the ball. One very good punch when a dangerous Uruguay cross came into the area. 6

Tino Livramento: He was given a chance to show what he can do at right-back after his last appearance came on the opposite side of defence. Reece James is the England number one but Livramento is a very good understudy. 6

Fikayo Tomori: The AC Milan centre-back was not tested too much but showed good recovery pace when he needed to and worked well with Harry Maguire. 6

Harry Maguire: Stepped into midfield with the ball whenever he could. One good pass to Noni Madueke in the first half. He took the armband in the second half and showed his experience at international level. A real chance to make a late charge for the World Cup squad. 7

Djed Spence: Provided width on the England left but not much else to do. One Uruguay counter-attack came down his side after he had pushed up the pitch. 5

Jordan Henderson: A tidy performance and not asked too many questions. Marshalled the midfield and gave instructions to the less experienced members of the team. 6

James Garner: The Everton man can be very happy with his first England display. A match that did not have the intensity of a competitive game but Garner did what he needed to do. He was asked to take set-pieces which is a compliment. 6

Phil Foden: A lot of effort but in a match lacking quality, he was not able to show his best. Hit with a really heavy challenge by Ronald Araujo and then replaced by Cole Palmer in the second half. Not the performance he needed to force himself into the World Cup squad. 5

Noni Madueke: The Arsenal winger had a nice interchange with striker Dominic Solanke and always looked positive on the ball as he tried to take on his full-back but was withdrawn after 38 minutes with an injury after a heavy challenge. 5

Marcus Rashford: Came central to receive the ball a lot as Spence provided the width on the England left. One excellent run in the first half with the ball where he carried it nearly the length of the pitch as he showed his pace. He was the one England player who looked like he could make something happen every time he got the ball. 7

Dominic Solanke: A flash of quality as he nutmegged a Uruguay midfielder before having a shot blocked on an England counter-attack early on. Good play with Madueke and shot saved in a bright first half. Replaced by Dominic Calvert-Lewin. 6

Ben White: A dramatic return for the Arsenal defender on his first appearance for England since leaving the World Cup in 2022. White was booed by some of the home supporters. Played at centre-back and poked in what he thought was a late winner before giving away a penalty for Uruguay's equaliser. 6

Jarrod Bowen: Replaced Madueke in the first half but it was a quiet performance from the West Ham forward. 5

Adam Wharton: The Crystal Palace midfielder was brought on to inject some pace into the England attack, but, like most others on the pitch, the game did not allow him to show his best. 5

Cole Palmer: The start of the battle for the number 10 position for Palmer. Brought on in place of Foden and the Chelsea playmaker looked to make things happen and should have had an assist when his free-kick was headed wide from close range by Calvert-Lewin. 6

Dominic Calvert-Lewin: The Leeds forward should have scored from the excellent chance he was presented with from Palmer's free-kick after coming on as a second-half substitute. 5

Harvey Barnes: The game became disjointed with so many changes and Barnes did not get a chance to show why he has been recalled to the national team. 5

Lewis Hall: A good recovery challenge after coming on as a second-half substitute. One show of his running power when he tried to get on the end of a Palmer through ball. 5

Kobbie Mainoo: Came on and kept things simple. A nice way for him to come back into the England fold. 5
