Gareth Southgate names his starting XI in 11-a-side training match

According to the Daily Mail, England participated in a full squad scrimmage, with the players that are expected to start their opener against Tunisia wearing bibs.

Much of the team is predictable, with Kyle Walker shifting to centre-back with John Stones and Harry Maguire, with Jesse Lingard and Dele Alli playing directly behind Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling up front.

The defensive midfield position has been one of great debate for England, with Jordan Henderson and Eric Dier competing all week for the starting role. It appears that Dier’s thigh problem will get the better of him, giving Henderson the starting nod at the number six against Tunisia.

Kieran Trippier and Ashley Young will line up at wing-backs, beating out Trent Alexander-Arnold and Danny Rose to the starting spots.

Jordan Pickford will start between the sticks.
