England – Senegal: shocks before the start of the match!
If the European runners-up face Senegal in the round of 16, striker Raheem Sterling will not be there. The Chelsea FC superstar is absent from the ‘Three Lions’ on Sunday night (20:00) in Al-Khour for private reasons, the national team has announced.
The formations:
England: Pickford-Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw-Henderson, Rice, Saka, Bellingham, Foden-Kane
Senegal: Mendy – Sabaly, Koulibaly, Diallo, Jakobs – Mendy, Ciss, Diatta, Ndiaye, Sarr – Dia
It is said to be a “family matter”. England manager Gareth Southgate has Phil Foden playing on the left.
He showed how important Sterling is to England in the group stage. Already in the first match he scored against Iran and prepared a goal.
