But the Aston Villa midfielder was omitted from the starting lineup against Belgium on Sunday and remained an unused substitute in a 2-1 Nations League win.
Gareth Southgate opted for Mason Mount instead, and the Chelsea youngster lined up on the right side of England’s attack and scored the winning goal.
