That just gives you a little indication of Solanke's mindset. He is a striker, he knows he is going to be judged on the goals he scores. Twice he has had half chances and he hasn't once looked like he was going to pass. It's tunnel vision.
England 0 - Uruguay 0

Noni Madueke continues to wear strapping across his left wrist.
He was asked about it on Monday but played it down, insisting it was nothing to worry about.
Hmmm...
England 0-0 Uruguay
England have a fourth corner, this time it's to the back post and headed behind for another one.

England look like a team that haven't played together. It has been a disjointed start, which hasn't helped them. The long injury stoppage. There has been no fluidity to the game.
England 0-0 Uruguay
We are back under way and Marcus Rashford tries to fashion something at the top of the box before England capitalise on some sloppy play from the visitors but Dominic Solanke's effort is not on target.

Poor by the ref here. He’s let the player who was off the pitch shuffle back on and now it’s causing a long delay

There's a lot of Leeds fans in the crowd tonight displaying their club's flag and quite a few have former manager and now Uruguay coach Marcelo Bielsa on them.
Bielsa is an iconic figure at Elland Road and it looks like a lot of fans came to show their gratitude for what he did there.

I've not seen too many replays of it. It looks like Madueke caught him, no bad intention whatsoever, but he was crossing the ball and in the follow through he has caught Piquerez.
England 0-0 Uruguay
Joaquin Piquerez is going to be replaced by Jose Maria Gimenez.
This looks relatively serious for the full-back. Although he did role himself back onto the pitch to ensure the game was stopped having first landed past the byline.
England 0-0 Uruguay
Uruguay full-back Joaquin Piquerez is really in bother here.
He is receiving treatment and the stretcher is out.

Paul, Leeds: Re: Mark in Bristol [@19:43]. Rumour has it that John Terry has turned up in full kit, just in case...
England 0-0 Uruguay
Noni Madueke tries to whip the ball across but it's blocked behind.
Uruguay are asking for a foul as Joaquin Piquerez was cleaned out in the process of making that block and he looks to be in a bit of bother.
England 0-0 Uruguay
Phil Foden swings out to the far post but it's headed clear.
England 0-0 Uruguay
Dominic Solanke drives through the middle of the park and looks really strong on the ball.
His effort lets him down, though. Although it's blocked behind for a corner.
England 0-0 Uruguay

Uruguay do have a threat on the counter attack. Defensively they are a stable team under Bielsa, well coached as you would expect, but with Cannobio and Araujo in the wide areas they certainly have the pace and power that can threaten England.
England 0-0 Uruguay
It was a bright start by England but now they're having to hustle to win the ball back.
Noni Madueke does just that then thinks he's fouled but the referee waves that away and Uruguay have the ball again.

Harry Maguire has had some great moments in an England shirt and the fans behind James Trafford's goal are singing his name as he returns to the starting line-up for the first time under Thomas Tuchel.

It's been a good start. I did wonder what to expect coming to Wembley tonight with the amount of changes and new players coming in.
England 0-0 Uruguay
Rodrigo Aguirre's effort takes a heavy deflection on its way into James Trafford's gloves.
Uruguay could pose problems on the break here.
England 0-0 Uruguay
A bright start for England who look to make inroads early doors.
Phil Foden sends in a nice-looking free-kick to the back post and it's pinging around in the box until it drops to Noni Madueke who tries to swing his left leg at it but Uruguay make a crucial clearance.

This is the first meeting between England and Uruguay since the 2014 World Cup, when the Three Lions were beaten 2-1 and knocked out of the tournament under manager Roy Hodgson. England have just a 27% win ratio against them (P11 W3), only having lower against Brazil (15%, P27 W4) and Romania (25%, P12 W3) among nations they’ve faced 10+ times.
Two of the four previous games between England and Uruguay at Wembley have ended 0-0, with those goalless games at the 1966 World Cup and in a 1995 friendly. They are one of only three nations England have drawn more than one game 0-0 against at Wembley, along with Wales (3) and Sweden (2).
England have won two of their last 11 matches against South American nations (D5 L4), beating Brazil in February 2013 and Peru in May 2014. They’re winless in five since that Peru win (D3 L2).
England have kept a clean sheet in 11 of their last 12 matches, including the last six in a row since a 3-1 defeat to Senegal in June 2025. Another clean sheet in this game will equal the Three Lions’ record for consecutive clean sheets in June/July 2021, a run of seven.
Uruguay lost their last match, suffering a 5-1 defeat to the USA. They haven’t lost consecutive games since losing four in a row in October/November 2021 in their final four games under Oscar Tabárez.
England have won their first match of the calendar year in 11 of the last 13 years (L2), though one of their defeats in this 13-year run was against a South American side at Wembley, losing 1-0 to Brazil in 2024.
Uruguay’s Marcelo Bielsa’s will manage his third game against England – he drew 0-0 at Wembley in February 2000 and lost 1-0 at the 2002 World Cup as Argentina boss. This game will be 26 years and 32 days since his last game at Wembley, a record for a manager in games versus England – Bernd Stange has the current record (25 years and 32 days, Sept 1984 with East Germany – Oct 2009 with Belarus).
Harry Kane has scored 10 goals in his last 10 England appearances, including nine in his first nine under Thomas Tuchel. Kane also scored and assisted in Uruguay manager Marcelo Bielsa’s last match on English soil when he was Leeds manager, in a 4-0 win for Tottenham at Elland Road in February 2022.
