Slovakia XI vs England: Predicted lineup, confirmed Euro 2024 team news, injury latest | OneFootball

The Falcons are in rude health heading into Sunday’s knockout clash

Slovakia have no fresh injury worries ahead of Sunday’s Euro 2024 last-16 clash against England.

Manager Francesco Calzona has made minimal changes to his line-ups during the tournament and is highly unlikely to start experimenting now. Since taking over two years ago, the head coach has overseen 10 wins from 16 games and will have his team at their best for a huge knockout clash.

Juraj Kucka, Stanislav Lobotka and Ondrej Duda will be the midfield three, taking on Declan Rice and potentially Kobbie Mainoo, with a likely front three of Lukas Haraslin, David Strelec and Ivan Schranz. Robert Bozenik led the line in the opening two games of the tournament so will hope to win his place back.

He added: “Look at the team we have. There are plenty of young players who are already experienced and play in good leagues. It’s important to believe and have faith in yourselves. I have said it from the beginning: it’s important to have that kind of healthy confidence.

“Our first goal was achieved: it was important to get out from the group. The opponent now is tough, but you have to believe in your strength and to have the highest ambitions.”

Predicted Slovakia XI: Dubravka; Pekarik, Vavro, Skriniar, Hancko; Kucka, Lobotka, Duda; Schranz, Strelec, Haraslin
