Two changes are expected for Sunday's match, while Luke Shaw is finally fit and available
EnglandThis transpired to be the birth of his third child, and Foden returned to the Three Lions’ camp in Blankenhain on Thursday evening.He only missed two days away from camp and will still have two days to get back up to speed after his return, but Sunday may come too soon, especially given his underwhelming group stage performances.Shaw last started a game in February and will likely need at least one bench appearance to improve his match sharpness before being trusted from kick-off.
This leaves Ezri Konsa and Joe Gomez – both right-footed centre-backs by trade – as the only options on the left. The two defenders are similarly versatile but Southgate has shown a preference for Konsa in the past, including starting him in the first pre-tournament friendly against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Central midfield is the only position in which Southgate has made a change so far this tournament and he appears likely to make yet another switch. Elsewhere, Southgate is likely to continue prioritising stability and continuity, especially in his tournament-leading defence.Although Foden is likely to be able to start against Slovakia, it is not impossible that Southgate tries something new.
