England World Cup watch: Good for Tomori, Kane & Mount, but bad for TAA

With the World Cup less than two months away, players will be keen to put in strong performances for their clubs to cement their involvement in Gareth Southgate's plans.

Fikayo Tomori continued to impress during AC Milan's 2-0 win over Juventus in which he netted whereas defenders Trent Alexander-Arnold and Kyle Walker have had bad times with the Liverpool man being torn apart by Gabriel Martinelli and Walker having to undergo surgery on his groin.

Here we look at some of the winners and losers of this week's club action with one eye on England's possible squad for Qatar.

Good week

Fikayo Tomori

He is perhaps the best English defender on current form — but the Milan man’s main contribution this weekend was in the other box as he scored in their 2-0 win over Juventus.

Harry Kane

The skipper has scored in four straight league games now after he flicked in a clever header to secure the win at Brighton.

He seems to be gaining momentum at the right time.

Mason Mount

Graham Potter hailed Mount as a ‘fantastic player and person — he brings so much energy and is really responsible’. The Chelsea man notched two assists in their win over Wolves and will make a late charge for a spot in the XI.

Bad week

Kyle Walker

Not his fault but a sad week for Walker, whose World Cup chances hang in the balance after the Manchester City man was forced to undergo groin surgery.

Trent Alexander-Arnold

one man who might have stepped up in Walker’s absence is Alexander-Arnold. But he had another horror show defensively — he could have done better with the first two of Arsenal’s three goals. He was substituted at half-time for Joe Gomez.

James Maddison

After a brace and an assist on Monday night, the Leicester man failed to capitalise on his good form at Bournemouth on Saturday, after the Foxes slumped to another poor defeat on the road.
