Back to the Bridge and it doesn't feel like stretching a point by suggesting that the past week offered some light relief for Noni Madueke.
Whatever age group, England camps are enjoyable these days. Particularly the Under 21s, where Madueke is taking on extra responsibility in a team that is seeing its brightest cherry-picked by Gareth Southgate more readily than ever. With three goals in two qualifying victories, against Azerbaijan and Luxembourg, the past week has offered positivity for a man who needs some.
That's gone – and the Young Lions won't reconvene again until September.
