Player Ratings: England vs Uruguay in Wembley Draw

England’s experimental team ended in a 1-1 draw against Uruguay on Friday night, with Thomas Tuchel’s less experienced players sharing the spoils.

This match aimed to assess player depth before the upcoming World Cup and was highlighted by Ben White’s return since the 2022 tournament.

The Arsenal defender faced mixed reactions initially but seemed to secure a victory with a goal from a Cole Palmer corner in the 81st minute.

However, frustration followed as White was penalized for a foul in the box during stoppage time. Federico Valverde successfully converted the penalty against debutant James Trafford.

Tuchel now has concerns over the injuries of Noni Madueke and Phil Foden, both of whom left the field after tough tackles.

While the match served as a tactical practice with senior debutant James Garner, the lack of finishing, particularly from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, left the Wembley crowd wanting more.

Here’s how the England players performed:
