Saka and Foden get the nod for England, Sterling out due to ´family matter´

Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden have been chosen to Harry Kane in England’s World Cup last 16 clash with Senegal.

It means Marcus Rashford, the scorer of two goals in England’s 3-0 win against Wales in their final group game, has to settle for a place on the bench alongside Jack Grealish. Raheem Sterling was unavailable as he is dealing with a family matter.

Jordan Henderson retains his place in midfield alongside Declan Rice, with Jude Bellingham continuing in a more advanced role.
