00:00Lewis Hall and former Liverpool defender Jarrell Kwanza have both strengthened their claims for regular roles in England's back line
00:09after impressing during the international break.
00:13Lewis Hall has arguably been one of England's standout players during this window, producing a series of assured performances at
00:23left-back and offering both defensive security and an attacking threat,
00:28especially linking up with former Newcastle forward Anthony Gordon on that left-hand side as well.
00:35Kwanza, meanwhile, has shown his versatility by operating at both right-back as well as a central defender as well.
00:42The former Liverpool youngster started against Croatia and helped England to dominate a 7-0 victory, providing the cross for
00:51Anthony Gordon.
00:52He then played centre-back against Czechia.
00:55Here's what Thomas Tuchel had to say about Kwanza after this international break.
01:00Very good. I know that he can play both positions. He can also play in a back three. That's part
01:04of his strength.
01:05I think he can play in all four positions, all five positions in a back five and all four positions
01:10in a back four.
01:12That's what makes him strong.
01:14He's still young. It's still a plus for him to be flexible.
01:18And it gave him the chance to start another match on a different position.
01:24So this is where he's at. He's very positive and very open for that at the moment and had another
01:29good performance.
