Team News:
Ukraine are missing Inter Miami defender Serhiy Kryvtsov, but will be boosted by the returning Oleksandr Zinchenko (from injury). The likes of Mykhailo Mudryk, Andriy Yarmolenko, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Vitaliy Mykolenko will face many players they are familiar with from the Premier League.
England manager Gareth Southgate has left Raheem Sterling and James Ward-Prowse out of the squad, despite their impressive starts to the season for their clubs. He has also given Eddie Nketiah a call up to the senior squad, and Levi Colwill. Southgate has somewhat controversially selected Harry Maguire and Jordan Henderson in the squad. Nick Pope has also been left out.
Predicted XI:
Ukraine: Trubin, Mykolenko, Zabarnyi, Matviyenko, Tymchyk, Zinchenko, Stepanenko, Mudryk, Malinovskyi, Yarmolenko, Dovbyk.
England: Pickford, Chilwell, Maguire, Tomori, Walker, Rice, Bellingham, Alexander-Arnold, Rashford, Kane, Saka.
The only mistake in the selection is Rashford,there must be some disappointed lads to have missed out. They must sit back and think what does he have over the FA to keep getting selected on his performances. I personally wonder if it’s the obvious reason!!!
