Premier League players that could make international debuts this month

The international break is here, and it could be a huge one for several Premier League players. Here are five names who could make their first international appearances this month.

James Garner has been rewarded for his excellence at Everton with a call-up to Thomas Tuchel’s expanded England squad.

Garner has mixed craft with graft in the Everton engine room all season. He ranks among the Premier League’s top performers for assists (4th), tackles won (4th), and interceptions (2nd) this season.

The 25-year-old won the European Championship with the U-21 side in 2023 and looks ready for the step up into the seniors.

“I can’t wait to get there,” Garner told Evertonfc.com . “I’m hoping I’ll get my first cap because it’ll be a dream come true.”

Igor Thiago’s goals have been impossible for Brazil to ignore. Included with the Selecao for the first time this month, the Brentford forward will aim to take his career-best form into the national team.

Thiago has hit 19 goals in the Premier League this season and trails Erling Haaland by just three goals in the Golden Boot race.

It’s been a phenomenal campaign from the 24-year-old, upon his return from an ACL injury that decimated his debut campaign in West London. Brazil’s number nine role looks like an open race, and Thiago will be determined to take his chance ahead of friendlies with Brazil and Croatia.

Another new name in the Brazil squad, Bournemouth teenager Rayan, has been rewarded for a bright start in the Premier League .

Signed from Vasco de Gama in January, the 19-year-old has three goals and assists in seven Premier League starts for the Cherries.

Maxence Lacroix has been called into the France squad for the first time after William Saliba’s withdrawal through injury.

The Crystal Palace centre-back has held together the Eagles’ defence since Marc Guehi’s exit in January and will fulfil a long-held ambition if he represents Les Bleus.

Lacroix will join up with the France squad that plays friendlies against Brazil and Colombia in the United States.

Mateus Fernandes has stood out in a struggling West Ham side this season and has caught the eye of Roberto Martinez as a result.

The 21-year-old ranks second in the Premier League for tackles won this season and hopes to seize the chance to play alongside Portugal’s talented midfield cast. This week, Fernandes named Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes as one of his ‘biggest role models’.
