Why the Game Is Being Played
Manager Thomas Tuchel has confirmed his selection strategy is to field a brand-new line-up full of players who played fewer minutes in the previous warm-up game. This arrangement is designed to get vital match minutes into the legs of the fringe squad members before the tournament begins.
England Team News
Specific injury news highlights that forward Bukayo Saka is carrying a slight Achilles issue and is considered a doubt to play heavy minutes, as Tuchel noted he needs careful management to return to 100 percent fitness. No other specific players have been entirely ruled out of today's training exercise, though the staff will heavily rotate the squad.
