Tomorrow’s match against Wales will feature Jordan Henderson starting, which could be bad news for Jude Bellingham.
Later today, the Liverpool captain will participate in the pre-game press conference with Gareth Southgate.
Additionally, Henderson’s expertise may be crucial in the Battle of Britain matchup’s physical nature.
Bellingham, who had been outstanding in the 6-2 victory over Iran but had struggled in the second game, was replaced by the midfielder against the United States on Friday in the 69th minute.
Despite the poor team performance against the States, Henderson, 32, who has 71 caps, was a calming presence.
England would only be eliminated from the group stages by a humiliating loss to Wales, but Southgate will still be motivated to finish first.
The manager of England isn’t likely to make many adjustments, and he may decide to keep Harry Kane on the left and Bukayo Saka on the right.
Since Phil Foden is having a successful season with Manchester City, there are numerous calls for him to get the start.
But in his 19 games for England, Foden has only produced a few strong performances, and he might have to be content with a spot on the bench.
On potential changes, Southgate said: “We will see. We want to win football matches and we want to try to top the group if we can.
“So we’ve got to make sure there is some consistency in what we do and our performances are healthy.
“There is always a balance of finding game time for players. But the priority is to win games, we have to win football matches.
“We are going to play a team who are wounded. Who are going to have very high motivation to beat us.
“We’ve got to be tactically correct and find our best level.
“We’ve got to make sure we are composed but also that we play with a real attacking vigour.”
