Gareth Southgate capped four England players on Friday against Germany, taking the total number of debutants for the Three Lions in 2017 to 11, but can you name them?
Gareth Southgate has called up Angus Gunn, Lewis Cook and Dominic Solanke for the friendly against Brazil on Tuesday, meaning the number could rise in the coming days, as Southgate looks to provide more opportunities for those who have starred at junior level.
The trio join fellow U21 graduates Tammy Abraham, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Jordan Pickford and Joe Gomez who all made their senior debuts in Friday's encouraging 0-0 draw against Germany.
Southgate is attempting to make youth players more involved in the senior squad, and judging by the 11 players who have been handed debuts in the past 12 months, they are not included simply to make up the numbers.
England debut: vs Germany, Wembley (November 11, 2017)
The Everton goalkeeper made two vital saves in the first half against Joachim Low's side as England went on to keep a first clean sheet against Germany in 17 years.
Pickford was first called up to the senior squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Malta and Slovakia in September, and the former Sunderland goalkeeper will now look to make the No 1 jersey his own. The form and fitness of Joe Hart and Jack Butland makes him a strong candidate.

Southgate opted to turn to Gomez over the more experienced Gary Cahill when Phil Jones limped off midway through the first half on Friday night, and the Liverpool defender showed his versatility, slotting in on the right side of a three-man back line.
The 20-year-old has impressed at Anfield this term and he took the England U21 captain's armband from James Ward-Prowse in August, but he may not be playing at age group level for much longer.
Gomez picked up a booking on the stroke of half-time after hauling down Leroy Sane but this was a proud evening for the former Charlton defender, and he provides Southgate with an option at both centre-back and right-back.
England debut: vs Germany, Dortmund (March 22, 2017)
The then Burnley defender enhanced his reputation with a solid and assured display as England were beaten 1-0 in Germany but emerged with plenty of credit.
The 24-year-old represented Republic of Ireland at youth level before switching to his country of birth, and he started in Dortmund alongside Manchester United's Chris Smalling and Chelsea's Gary Cahill.
Keane is expected to be handed minutes against Brazil to add to his four caps having been an unused substitute in the draw against Germany.
England debut: vs Lithuania, Vilnius (October 8, 2017)
Maguire should have marked his England debut with a goal in Vilnius, but this was a largely comfortable senior bow.
Earning his second cap on Friday, he overcame a nervous start in which he nearly presented Timo Werner with a goalscoring chance to demonstrate the composure and ball-carrying skills that Southgate wants from his defenders.
Keeping a Germany outfit that had scored 43 times in World Cup qualifying at bay will do wonders for his confidence as he returns to Leicester full of belief he can make the flight to Russia.
England debut: vs France, Paris (June 13, 2017)
In Kyle Walker's absence, Trippier took his chance to wrestle the position as the England right-back's understudy away from the injured Nathaniel Clyne with an accomplished debut in the thrilling season-ending encounter with France in Paris.
Having been selected again against Lithuania in Vilnius, he has cemented his place in the thoughts of Southgate with a fine start to the season with Tottenham.
Trippier impressed at right-back against Germany with his attacking and delivery, which could prove a useful tool at free-kicks and corners in Russia given the shortage of high quality set-piece specialists in the squad.
England debut: vs Germany, Wembley (November 11, 2017)
Cork was a late call-up following the withdrawal of Jordan Henderson, Harry Winks, Fabian Delph and Raheem Sterling.
The 28-year-old joined Burnley from Swansea in July and he has played in every minute of the Premier League campaign to date with the Clarets soaring in seventh place. He was only given four minutes, replacing Jake Livermore late on at Wembley.
England debut: vs Germany, Dortmund (March 22, 2017)
Redmond has been a mainstay of the England U21s for several years and he was rewarded for his development with a 27-minute cameo in the defeat by Germany in March. This was a quiet introduction, coming after the hosts had already taken command.
It was a proud night for the Southampton winger, but he has not been called up since with his form dipping this season at St Mary's under Mauricio Pellegrino and he faces a stiff challenge forcing his way back into the squad in time for the World Cup.
England debut: vs Germany, Dortmund (March 22, 2017)
James Ward-Prowse was the second Southampton player to make his England debut this night in Dortmund, but the midfielder had very little time to have a major impact with just eight minutes on the pitch during the international friendly.
Both Redmond and Ward-Prowse featured heavily under Southgate during his time coaching the U21 side, but he has not played regularly under Pellegrino with the under-performing Saints this season.
England debut: vs Lithuania, Vilnius (October 8, 2017)
Winks had only made 14 senior starts in his career when Southgate opted to hand him his England debut in the 1-0 win over Lithuania.
The technically gifted midfielder did not look out of place and was one of the few real positives to emerge from a drab encounter, settled by another Harry Kane goal.
Winks has vindicated his selection since with two fine performances against European champions Real Madrid for Tottenham, strengthening his claims for a place on the plane to Russia.
England debut: vs Germany, Wembley (November 11, 2017)
Loftus-Cheek's England debut came in just his 21st senior start but he produced a man-of the-match display against the world champions and looked comfortable playing at international level, albeit in a game that lacked intensity.
With just 112 caps in the starting line-up, this was the most inexperienced England team in 40 years to take on Germany, but the Chelsea loanee sparkled with a double-nutmeg and swaggered towards the end, touching the ball 67 times, more than any England player in the attacking third.
England debut: vs Germany, Wembley (November 11, 2017)
Abraham came agonisingly close to scoring on his debut on two occasions, failing to connect with Jamie Vardy's cross from two yards out while seeing his shot deflect just wide off Antonio Rudiger.
Subbed in the second half, the on-loan Swansea frontman did little to harm his chances of being selected for Russia if Southgate opts to take four strikers, behind Harry Kane, Vardy and Marcus Rashford.
