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.
Position | Players |
---|---|
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 |
