Team news & squads

England U21 team news

England lost Jacob Ramsey to an ankle injury that the midfielder picked up in the quarter-final win over Portugal, while on the other hand, Max Aarons and Ben Johnson are back from suspension.

As such, Luke Thomas may need to make way for the returning Aarons at left-back. However, it is unlikely that James Garner would be taken off the XI in order to accommodate Johnson on the other side.

England U21 possible XI: Trafford; Garner, Harwood-Bellis, Colwill, Aarons; Smith Rowe, Jones, Gomes, Palmer; Gibbs-White, Gordon.

PositionPlayers
Goalkeepers:Griffiths, Rushworth, Trafford
Defenders:Aarons, Branthwaite, Colwill, Cresswell, Harwood-Bellis, Johnson, Thomas
Midfielders:Doyle, Elliott, Garner, Gomes, Jones, Skipp, Madueke, Palmer, Gibbs-White
Forwards:Archer, Gordon, Smith Rowe
