Jeremy doku
Ghana lost to Anderlecht star Jeremy Doku after the attacker made his first competitive appearance for Belgium on Saturday.
The winger’s appearance in the 88th minute as a substitute in the European Nations League clash with the Red Devils has left the teenager tied for the league, which is why he joined Roberto Martínez’s team permanently.
The game ended 2-0 in favor of the 2018 World Cup bronze medalists, who had Jason Denayer and Dries Mertens to thank for sealing all three points in their first group.
Eduardo Camavinga
On Tuesday night, Camavinga became the youngest French player since 1914, when he came off the bench against Croatia in the Les Bleus fight in the Nations League.
The 17-year-old, who has been linked to a move to Real Madrid, is the third-youngest French player of all time, continuing his meteoric rise after showing such influence at Stade Rennais this season.
“First of all, I feel joy and pride for my family and for all French people,” he told TF1. “I have no idea where this confidence comes from, but I have often played with older players and it surely allowed me to have a greater maturity to play with older players.
“My goal is to come back of course, and first of all concentrate on playing well with my club because we have a game on Sunday,” he added, “and then with the national team if they call me again.

Having made his debut in victory over Sweden, he then scored in Tuesday’s 4-2 win over Croatia as Les Bleus, making an excellent start to his international career.
The central cult could have represented Guinea-Bissau.
Ansu fati
Another 17-year-old to debut during the international break, Fati played the second half for Spain against Germany, becoming the youngest player to represent La Roja since 1936.
It’s a nice reward for the wonderful kid after his breakout season in La Liga, and it serves as a reminder that things aren’t all fatalities in Barcelona.
The teenage sensation was born in Guinea-Bissau, but for a long time it seemed like a long shot to represent African birds.
The one who got away
Another player who could have made his debut for Spain during the international break is Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traore.
Despite scoffing at throwing his hat into the ring with Mali, the winger was named in Spain’s squad to face Germany and Ukraine in their Nations League bouts.
However, the coronavirus denied him the possibility of making his debut, having tested positive at the end of August.
He later joined the team after a subsequent test came back negative, but was later forced to retire again after the antibody tests came back negative.
The 24-year-old’s wait for an international cap continues …
