Team News: Bukayo Saka, Kalvin Phillips start for England against Italy

sportsmole.co.uk, 23 March 2023, 18:33
Bukayo Saka and Kalvin Phillips have both been named in the starting lineup for England's Euro 2024 qualifier with Italy.

Despite his well-documented lack of game time with Manchester City, Phillips retains the faith of Gareth Southgate, as Jordan Henderson takes up a spot on the bench.

Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham unsurprisingly join Phillips in the engine room, with Southgate seemingly opting for a 4-3-3 setup at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Arsenal attacker Saka links up with Jack Grealish and Harry Kane in the final third, as the latter seeks one more goal to become his country's all-time highest goalscorer.

A fit-again John Stones takes his place in the backline alongside Three Lions stalwart Harry Maguire, with Luke Shaw and Kyle Walker fending off the threat of Ben Chilwell and Reece James, and Jordan Pickford retains possession of the gloves.

England: Pickford; Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw; Rice, Phillips, Bellingham; Saka, Kane, Grealish

Subs: Ramsdale, Forster, Trippier, James, Dier, Guehi, Chilwell, Henderson, Gallagher, Maddison, Foden, Toney

Italy: Donnarumma; Di Lorenzo, Acerbi, Toloi, Spinazzola; Barella, Jorginho, Verratti; Berardi, Retegui, Pellegrini
