England are sweating on the fitness of one key player as they prepare to face Spain in the final of Euro 2024 .
Harry Kane and Ollie Watkins fired the Three Lions to victory after Xavi Simons had given the Dutch an early lead in Dortmund.Trippier was forced to miss training earlier in the tournament because of a calf injury which disrupted the final months of the domestic season with While he was fit enough to start against the Netherlands, Trippier was taken off at half-time and replaced at left wing-back bySpeaking about Trippier in his post-match interview, Southgate admitted he was unsure about his fitness and whether he will be able to face Spain."We had it in our minds that we would bring Luke into the game at some point. It was better to bring him into the game than to start the game and not be able to finish it.
"We'll have to see how Tripps is. He's been an absolute soldier for us. To fill in the way he has, on the wrong side of the pitch, with the injuries he’s had coming into the tournament, is exceptional."Shaw is expected to start in the left wing-back role if Trippier fails to recover in time to face Spain, while Ezri Konsa and Joe Gomez are other options for Southgate.
