England XI vs Denmark: Starting lineup, latest team news, squad, injury updates for Euros semi-final today

England have thrown Bukayo Saka back into the starting lineup as Gareth Southgate plots victory over Denmark for a place in the Euro 2020 final against Italy.

Saka was a star performer for the historic victory over Germany in the last-16 stage, only to pick up an injury in training to rule him out of the 4-0 thumping of Ukraine in the quarter-finals.

Jadon Sancho impressed in Saka’s place in Rome, but the versatile Arsenal youngster has been drafted back in to help combat Denmark’s wing-backs.

England, though, will stick with a back four having reverted back from the three-man defence for the win over Ukraine.

Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips both came through the quarter-final without picking up the bookings that would have seen them suspended, meaning Jordan Henderson again has to be satisfied with a place on the bench, despite his goalscoring cameo in Rome.

Here is how we England will line up against Denmark at Wembley...

England starting lineup

England XI (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw; Phillips, Rice; Saka, Mount, Sterling; Kane

Suspension list

England have no suspensions to contend with and with yellow cards wiped after the quarter-final stage, nobody runs the risk of missing the final, were they to advance that far.
