The success of Agyemang and Beever-Jones, as well as further demonstration of Beth Mead’s blossoming partnership with Russo in Bristol, will not have helped Naz’s case.
The 24-year-old forward has struggled for form at Tottenham this season and was left out of the squad originally by Wiegman.
With Lauren Hemp, Chloe Kelly, James and Russo all still to return, Naz has a big job to win a Euro 2025 place.
She is not the only one as Brighton’s Nikita Parris, who earned a recall to the squad after two years in February, did not capitalise on her opportunity to impress.
Parris earned praise from Wiegman for her hold-up play and her game management skills in slowing playing down during February’s 1-0 win over Spain and was trusted to fill Russo’s shoes in the number nine position against Belgium as a result.
But Parris came off after an hour, having struggled to implement England’s press and having barely had a sniff at goal.
While Parris was given an opportunity and did not take it, Manchester United captain Maya Le Tissier was again overlooked.
Despite consistently impressing for United, who have the best defensive record in the WSL this season, it was not Le Tissier who Wiegman turned to when England were being carved open in Belgium.
Instead, Esme Morgan and Jess Carter came on as half-time substitutes.
There are still opportunities to impress Wiegman but time is running out – and following this topsy-turvy double header with Belgium, the England manager has plenty to think about.
