A pundit has named his mind-blowing England starting eleven for the first European Championship game against Serbia, and it does not include some big names from Arsenal and Manchester City.
England will play Serbia, Denmark and Slovenia in Group C as they look to win the Euros for the very first time, having lost in the final to Italy three years ago. The Three Lions have one of the best international squads in the world and are among the favourites to win the tournament, although they will have to seriously step up their game if they are to go all the way.
Gareth Southgate’s men lost their final warm-up match 1-0 against Iceland on Friday. The result means England have won just once in their last five outings.
Now that the 2023-24 club campaign is over, attention has swiftly turned to which players should start for England this summer.
Southgate must get the best out of top-class stars such as Phil Foden, Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice.
However, Jeff Stelling wants Southgate to select a controversial side by incredibly leaving top stars such as Foden, Bukayo Saka and John Stones out in the first game, with Anthony Gordon and Lewis Dunk surprisingly getting into the eleven.
