#2 Joe Gomez (England)
Things did not quite go Gomez's way during the international games. In England's first match, the Liverpool man hurt his ankle and may potentially miss a couple of games. The 20-year-old defender had just made his senior debut in November last year.
In his second senior appearance, he earnt the praise and recognition for making vital interceptions and blocks against opponents, Brazil. As a matured young player, he is one of the younger prospects who deserve a chance to shine at the international level.
If Gomez is able to regain fitness in time, he may be joining Southgate in Russia.
