After the latest international break, Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White now has a second England cap to his name.
The Forest attacking midfielder was restored to the England setup after missing the October internationals through injury.
He made his maiden England outing in September during a 2-0 win for the Three Lions against the Republic of Ireland.
Gibbs-White has been a bit of a slow burner during the 2024/25 campaign and is striving for more goals and assists.
The 24-year-old is still very important to Forest and now he has work to do in order to impress incoming England boss Thomas Tuchel.
Last night, England defeated the Republic of Ireland 5-0 with Liam Scales dismissed for the visitors to Wembley just after half-time.
Lee Carsley gave minutes to a number of players but Gibbs-White once again remained on the bench for a Wembley contest.
That decision has been met with angst from Forest supporters who found the decision dumbfounding.
Forest fans in agreement over Morgan Gibbs-White decision
It’s fair to say that the Forest fans aren’t best impressed about Carsley’s decision not to use Gibbs-White.
Another Forest supporter said: “Gutted we didn’t see more of Gibbs-White this evening.”
Another was furious, claiming: “Gibbs-White was key against Greece and yet is warming the bench tonight. I’d already be back home on the M1 by now. Joke.”
Gibbs-White facing fight to get more England chances
With Tuchel set to be in position the next time international football comes around, Gibbs-White has some work to do.
He got involved with England this time thanks to Carsley who knows of his quality following his time with the under-21s.
Tuchel might choose to go with players from bigger clubs for his first few squads and take things from there.
That would be seriously bad news for Gibbs-White and he’s going to have to do something special to earn more chances.
The challenge for the player is to start adding a few more goals and assists to his game and make it impossible for Tuchel to leave him out.
