Israel lost 2-0 to England in the group stage but they will be hoping to cause an upset and book their place in the final. They overcame Georgia on penalties in the quarter-finals and will need to be at their best on Wednesday.

Team news & squads
Israel team news
Prior to the semi-finals, only yellow cards that have not resulted in suspensions will be expunged. Consequently, Israel's goalkeeper Peretz and midfielder Eden Karzev, both having received their second cautions during the match against Georgia, will find themselves sidelined on Wednesday.
Peretz has undoubtedly been one of Israel's standout performers in the tournament thus far. However, his yellow card for time-wasting, arguably an avoidable offence, may make things difficult for Israel against England.
On a positive note, left-back Roy Revivo has returned from his own suspension.
Israel U21 predicted XI: Tzarfati; Jaber, Lemkin, Cohen, Revivo; Gloukh, Gandelman, Bar, Azoulay; Turgeman, Jorno.
Position | Players |
---|---|
Goalkeepers: | Keuof, Tzarfati |
Defenders: | Jaber, Morgan, Blorian, Cohen, Revivo, Layous, Lemkin |
Midfielders: | Gandelman, Gloukha, Turgeman, Bilevi, Azoulay, Hofmeister, Ferede, Hagag |
Forwards: | Arad, Gorno, Khalaili, Abu Rumi |
England team news
For the semi-final, England manager Carsley will face the challenge of managing the absence of two suspended players, namely Ben Johnson and Max Aarons, who both received bookings during the match against Portugal.
Although Harvey Elliott was unable to participate in the quarter-finals due to a family commitment, he is expected to make a comeback for Wednesday's game. On the other hand, Jacob Ramsey was substituted due to an injury on Sunday, creating an opportunity for Emile Smith Rowe to potentially rejoin the team.
England U21 predicted XI: Trafford; Garner, Harwood-Bellis, Colwill, Thomas; Madueke, Jones, Gomes, Smith Rowe; Gibbs-White, Gordon.
Position | Players |
---|---|
Goalkeepers: | Griffiths, Rushworth, Trafford |
Defenders: | Branthwaite, Colwill, Cresswell, Harwood-Bellis, Johnson, Thomas |
Midfielders: | Doyle, Elliott, Garner, Gomes, Jones, Ramsey, Skipp, Madueke, Palmer, Gibbs-White |
Forwards: | Archer, Gordon, Smith Rowe |
