Gareth Southgate is planning to rest Trent Alexander-Arnold and start Conor Gallagher in midfield for England’s final Euro 2024 group game with Slovenia.
For the matches against Serbia and Denmark, Alexander-Arnold was deployed in midfield by England (he is normally a right-back for Liverpool).
Some fans and pundits alike are divided on his displays so far, despite the preparation with which he reportedly arrived at Elland Road.
Conor Gallagher of Chelsea, who has come in for Alexander-Arnold in previous group games starts.
It is reported that Southgate and his assistant, Steve Holland had been coaching Alexander-Arnold to play in midfield but the experiment has not convinced everyone.
Winning Group C is on the minds of both teams, with England leading after amassing four points from their two fixtures so far.
This adjustment in the lineup is seen as an attempt to reinforce their mid-field while preparing for future rounds of this competetion.
