Group News for England by Latvia
Friday’s victory was overshadowed by an injury to Anthony Gordon in Newcastle. The wing, who replaced Marcus Rasford in the second half, was forced to pass due to an injury.
Tuchel admitted that after the fight that Gordon’s situation was “a little worrying”, and has since retired from the team.
Tuchel is expected to rotate his composition, giving opportunities to players such as Reece James, Jordan Henderson, Levi Colwill and Jarrod Bowen.
The omission of Aaron Ramsdale, Jarell Quansah and Morgan Gibbs-White from Friday’s race team can also change, with Gibbs-White now in conflict over Gordon’s absence.

The average Deniss Melniks was replaced in the half time, but the change seems to be a regular switch and not associated with injury. Paolo Nicolato can choose a more defensive arrangement in Wembley, though the winner of the match sits has bet a claim for an initial role.
